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.

Many bad things can be said about Paris Hilton, but that she hasn't done anything and is still worth millions is incorrect. I think we need a 100% tax on posters with the name terminated.

No, don't bother, he's still an idealistic teenager living with his parents. Nothing there to tax [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I wonder how Ted Kennedy and John Kerry would feel about this.

That gave me a good idea for an avatar. Too bad I don't have any graphical abilities to create it.

I voted for option #1, but I'd also like a push for alternative energy sources in more than just the transportation sector.

This is a better option, then creating a federal agency to monitor how many miles everyone in the country drives.

You left out the 800 pound gorilla (or should I say the 2,000 dead soldiers issue).

Decriminalization of Weed would be a mega biggie for me to change parties to one that could win.
