This reminds me of the South Park episode where all the music artists were complaining that there money was being taken from people downloading their music, and how they had to buy "nice" stuff rather than "really nice" stuff.

What would the founding fathers say if we allowed 50% of the country to suffer so that 1% of the country could keep a slightly higher percent of their income? Do you think that is government by the people for the people?

Really you don't have to redistribute wealth in the form of handing them a check, but more in that they are taken care of if shit hits the fan, specifically when they need healthcare and what little retirement they had has run out.

 

I think they'd think "Hey you got the number down signficantly interesting."

Like seriously, do you know what it was like back then?

You don't need to take more money from the rich then should be to make these things equalized.  The government could do it with a flat tax.  They don't because the rich are an easy target.  People should be for government reform.  Not higher taxes.
