an easy way to bring about this realization in people is to ask them if they think people controlling 80% of the wealth in a nation should pay a greater share of the taxes.
Because that would be a stupid argument, even if you were ignoring the fact that those are levied at a state and local level. Raising capital gains and qualified dividenRAB rates isn't.
I still think a Plasma TV is a right. but since those damn Japs don't want to make any more, I demand we arrest a bunch, put them in concentration camps and force them to make my TV goddamnit!!!
