Reply #41: Any Democrat that supports progressive taxation by your definition "steals," no? [View All]

[Selatius]

Of course, I'm using "steal" in place of expropriate. The progressive income tax, of which the estate tax has been apart of for almost a century, is just another form of expropriation. The only difference is the direction it's going. It is wealth redistribution.

For the last three decades, there has been a large amount of wealth redistribution, mainly to the richest 1% of America at the expense of everyone else. Under older leaders like FDR and Truman and even Eisenhower, the opposite was true. The Middle Class could not have been created without wealth redistribution to the lower classes.
