You mean go to the 1% that pay the most in income taxes, which they would then invest in speculative overseas markets and ponzi schemes

I hope you were joking. 

Trickle down theory has been disproven, quite frankly. We don't need to be giving the rich more money when they have it better than they've had it in 70 years

I'm not talking about the rich getting richer or anything like that, I'm just hoping you're joking about every person in the top 1% having offshore accounts and ponzi schemes. Not every rich person is a tax evading piece of crap you know. 

You're right, i was being overly harsh, though half true in that even the moral ones sometimes don't know what's being done with their money (Spielberg got caught in Madoff, and i can't imagine him being entirely privvy to what was going on)
