Lordy, over 90 posts defending the rich - does anyone here know any rich people I wonder?
"On moral grounds, then, we could argue for a flat income tax of 90 percent to return that wealth to its real owners. In the United States, even a flat tax of 70 percent would support all governmental programs (about half the total tax) and allow payment, with the remainder, of a patrimony of about $8,000 per annum per inhabitant, or $25,000 for a family of three. This would generously leave with the original recipients of the income about three times what, according to my rough guess, they had earned."

Social security is insurance for all Americans - great and noble thing, you'd think everyone would praise a genuinely Christian and humanitarian project.
