afx114, Socialism did not lift us out of the Great Depression, WWII did. That’s when we really started rolling into another wealth cycle. And to those of you who think wealth distribution is a static entity, remember, the USA is one of the few countries where YOU CAN BECOME wealthy through hard work, not by your birth rite or birth class. I strive to be one of those who have the highest tax rate…not one who dwells in the self-pity of poor me, I don’t make enough money, so someone else must pay so I can have the things everyone else has. The first thing I have instilled in my kids is “life is not fair, get used to it” the second is hard work and a good education pay off. None of us will ever be equal, nor should we be. Hard work should bring great fulfillment, and we should not tax people who have created wealth more than anyone else. Flat tax is the way to go, better yet, a national sales tax would be better, then even the drug dealers would pay when they buy their fancy car or big gold necklace, but I think most americans would balk at an additional 15-20% on top of our 7.75% sales tax.

June 13, 2008 at 9:18 AM #222466blahblahblahParticipantHere, this is how logic works.
Fact: Government spends money badly.
Fact: The more money you give to government, the more it spends badly.
No matter how much money rich people have, it does not change these facts.
EXACTLY! This kind of CLEAR THINKING is exactly why I am a RIGHT WING REPUBLICAN FREE MARKET CONSERVATIVE and I don’t suffer from the MENTAL DISORDER of LIBERALISM.
Government wastes money, unlike those famous paragons of private sector virtue like Enron, WorldCom/MCI, Bear Stearns, Tyco and Merck! I don’t want to give money to the THIEVING GOVERNMENT so they can hand it to CADILLAC DRIVING WELFARE QUEENS or WHINY VETS with their phony “GULF WAR SYNDROME”! I want to give my money to capitalist CEOS because THEY DESERVE IT! Besides, they will use their annual $100 million dollar bonuses to buy yachts and when they put to port here in San Diego they will need their bilges pumped! So my bilge pumping business will benefit and I will get trickled down on! Trickle down on me! GO GO USA USA YAY YAY YAY!!!
