It is very easy to notice that so many people are money envious of the rich. Obama who is mega rich has said something like, "At some point you have enough money." I would only agree with that if I am the one to decide for myself what enough is for me. I think Obama like all far left zealots wants to decide just how much everyone else should have. So, my question is this, all of you that think we need to take from some and give to others and even it all out, how much should one person be allowed to have before being cut off and at that point not be allowed to make any more money? And don't try to tell me I'm all wrong and you don't really think like that because we all know you do. Face up, lets hear it!!

There should be no limit on how much money someone is "allowed" to have. It would be theft to just take away someone's money after they reached a certain limit.

That being said, while I don't agree with Obama's tax proposals, taxation is not theft. A 100% "tax" would be theft of course.

Depends. Are they actually earning it or is the government simply giving it to them?

NO ONE should EVER tell another person how much money they are "allowed" to have! EVER!

If someone wants to give money to the poor, it should be their own money, not someone elses. If someone wants to have a gazillion dollars a year, and they can do it themselves, they should! I don't know why that's so hard for people to get!

OK, I want to ask everybody what percentage is too high? Is 90% too high? If some pay near 50% now which seems too high to me, at what point should it stop?

how much?

the feds have already figured it out and use it for government workers.

first a rating is assigned and then a sum of taxpayer money is mapped to the rating.
