Taking it to its extreme, maybe we should have the UN collect all of the money in the world and redistribute it equally among all of the world's population.

I wish this was "make believe". You folks clearly believe in fairy tales but here is the reality wizard.

Anyone who thinks that the rich should subsidize the slackers (losers) even more has some serious issues. The rich capitalist has for many generations given huge sums of money for the betterment of community.

Golisano in Rochester has given the Strong hospital millions to improve the facilities for everone
Andrew Carnagie gave millions to Pittsburgh, the Carnegie museum is one of many examples
George Eastman also left a huge mark on Rochester. Ever hear of the Eastman school of music?

There are many other examples of this selfless giving to help all by these so called "evil capitalists"

What have any of you Libs done to better the community for these poor slackers besides yell and scream from your upper eastside Manhattan condos about how evil capitalism is?

Probably nothing

I am sorry I still don't see the problem increasing 5.4% for people making 1 million or more. As a matter of fact if anyone is offering a 1 million a year job. I will voluntarily pay 70% in taxes. I am charitable that way.
