I'd vote for a candidate who promised to tax the rich into oblivion. It's ridiculous beyond explanation how the wealthiest Americans are only taxed 15-20% on their capital gains. I also think we need a wealth tax. Maybe something like just 2% of your net worth for those Americans worth more than $1 million. This would keep the super-rich from receiving all the benefits of living in America without having to pay their fair share.

What incentive would anyone have to be successful then?

Most of the super-wealthy inherit their wealth. They don't work for it. Look at Paris Hilton. The most ditzy, STD-ridden cooch in the entire world who has never lifted a finger to do anything but is still worth millions. Eat the rich.

You still didn't answer my question.

It's "ridiculous beyond explanation," whatever that means. Why ask him to explain it, it's obvious that he's just jealous.
