WTF?

Why aren't we hearing this on the news? Well, yeah I know why but still.............

Many Democrats might argue that all of this moat-building and cash hoarding and community-shunning by the rich is exactly why we should tax them more. They say the lack of mass consumer demand is the reason the wealthy aren't investing and creating jobs. At least the government would deploy that capital into the economy, rather than keep it under a Vividus mattress, they argue.

Most One Percenters agree with them - at least when it comes to higher taxes. The survey found that 62 percent of One Percenters are in favor of an income-tax increase. More than half say the increase should be imposed on people making $500,000 or more (basically themselves).

Another 31 percent say it should be imposed on filers making more than $250,000 - basically the Obama cut-off.

3. If you'll notice, this debate has quite successfully been diverted away from the parasites

at fault to the high wage earners. Taxing high salaries is not a bad idea at all, but doubling or even trebling the tax on investment income combined with a very high inheritance tax is what will change the balance.

But no one in DC is even talking about that.

7. There you go. IOW, tax the WEALTH..........

especially of the wealthiest.

8. Absolutely. That's the only way to broad based prosperity. Allowing capital to pool

into a small number vast reservoirs effectively removes it from the economy.
