A modest proposal 90% tax rate

Simplistic like Mao.


"The wealth of society is created by the workers, peasants and working intellectuals. If they take their destiny into their own hands, follow a Marxist-Leninist line and take an active attitude in solving problems instead of evading them, there will be no difficulty in the world which they cannot overcome." Mao

Principles, by their nature are simple--that does not make them nonsense.

And Mao, despite recognizing where wealth is created, obviously had no idea how it is created, or he would not have endorsed Marxist-Leninist notions that deny the basic fundamentals for creating a society's wealth.

Tora, I agree a little - but isn't China communist?

No, they are not.

Deng Xiopang said that "it was glorious to get rich." I'm not sure where that appears in Marx's writings.

That would accomplish a prevention of progress and bring utter tyranny to our land. In a free society such as ours people with beliefs such as yourselves are free to enter into contracts to throw all your money into a pool and then divy it up equally. I'm doubt you would have any volunteers.
