why? what gives you the right to morally justify taking from me to give to someone else? why dont YOU just give something to him, and get your hand out of MY pocket?

anyway, getting to the tax issue - what about a REGRESSIVE income tax, with the marginal tax rate going DOWN as incomes go up. instead of an incentive to be a lazy bum and live off of the labor of others, it would create an incentive to actually get to work and produce something.

PS i talked to the real noam on 4 occasions while i was up there, and while hes obviously a pompous buffoon, the more annoying point is what a PHONY and FRAUD he is. whats up with all the talk of the common man and living a meager life from a guy with a $1.2 million beach house in cape cod (as his SECOND home)? or how about the bashing of the DOD that he has cashed checks of over THREE MILLION DOLLARS FROM over the last 30 years?
