The rich give back little and take more proportionally. Up until 1942, 85% of Americans didn't pay income tax ($1500.00 deductible). WWII cahnged that. Yet somehow the country ran on income taxes from the top 15%. (Guess that's why they arranged the Great Depression) Charity

People should not be excessively taxed for being successful. The rich already give back by creating jobs. Their resources already fertilize the rest of America.

I think you would agree that the rich here are goddamn RICH ENOUGH. Instead of letting them get richer, we should use some resources to 'fertilize' the rest of America. Charity,

Fact is we ALL are at fault for this. If you consume more than you create, you go deeper and deeper into debt. We all dug this hole, people on the right and left may have dug different parts of the hole, but we all dug it. Period. And no amount of loads/bailouts/spending can save you from debt! And the harshest lesson of history of all: its not like *some* or even *most* empires (yes we are one) crash --- they ALL do. But its not like "everybody dies" when an empire crashes. Its just a time of change and coming up with new systems. However, if we throw a *temper tantrum*, and everybody blames everybody else, and we pick up arms internally against each other? Then this could be a bloodbath unlike any ever seen before in history. Frankly, we collectively deserve the worst, but I have kids. So this stuff scares the $*%(## out of me!
