Default 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!
