Scotty's mistake
Jonathan,
Go ahead and tax the rich.
One small problem.
The rich run the government.
The rich write the laws.
Who in the Senate is not a millionaire?
The Clintons became multimillionaires by holding public office .
Because of government's ability to tax corporations and wealth, corporations
and rich people will always have strong interests in controlling the
government.
Business leaders become rich through stock options -creating shareholder
value.
Politicians become rich through graft, influence and corruption.
So how do you propose to tax the rich?
Amen!
