Wealth Tax: Yeah! Why do Warren Buffett and Bill gates need so much money in their Trust?

You are not "governed" by Wall Street. That's what you don't get. If a business pisses you off, or you just don't want what they're selling, you can refuse to do business with them. There's nothing they can do about it.

Apparently you're incapable of distinguishing between a plutocracy and a democracy:

Nah. I just think you're full of shit. You think majority rule will always do the right thing. That's just dumb.

Majority rule is good for some things. It's idiotic for an economy because everyone has different needs and desires, which don't always conform to the needs and desires of the majority.

It's idiotic to construct an economy where a small minority of participants decide what to produce, where to produce it, and how to distribute any surplus.

Yup. That is why socialism is shit, that is what happens. That is what makes capitalism better, no centralized cabal of a few people deciding how much Malt-O-Meal and toilet paper you need. Capitalism is much better as we all get to decide for ourselves.

Not that you would understand.

...why should we have to care under our Constitutional form of Government using Capitalism for all of its capital worth, and where there is no theoretical upward limits to markets?

Raise the minimum wage and solve simply poverty via equal protection of the law for unemployment compensation in our at-will employment States.

Higher paid labor creates more in demand and generates more in tax revenue. It should be a requirement with "supply-side" economics.
