The funny thing is Oprah made $275 million last year. That is just nuts. She's voting for Obama. Most insanely rich people are somehow Democratic, because they're wealthy beyond the point of counting the zeroes on their payczechs. She already gives dozens of cars away at a time anyway. Even Warren Buffet and Bill Gates (the world's 2 richest people) are both for progressive tax rates and are both for an inheritance tax.


But saying "I want to make their money mine" is not the right idea. We already have a progressive tax. It's not like we're jumping ship from a pure free market to pure communism. We'll hopefully never have to deal with either of those in America. We're just moving the numbers around a little bit due to a GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS.
