This pretty much shoots a hole in the foot of every supply-sider out there...

You are too dumb to realize you and other working taxpayers aren’t getting the opportunity to take care of yourself you are carrying the uber wealthy on your shoulders and all the while they are telling you the burden is the poor.

I don't think you leftists are ever going to realize that, in a free market economy, there are going to be some who become wealthy - period. Until you realize that and accept it, you are continually going to be struggling against reality. Your jealousy of those who take chances in the market and are able to bring prosperity, not only to themselves but millions of others, is prohibiting you from seeing the hand up to those who aren't able to step onto the entrepreneurial track and make the economy move. As my wise father liked to say, "You are cutting off your nose to spite your face." Too bad!

I guess Stalin is your role model. Before you even say it we have nothing in common with Hitler, but Democrats do. They want to destroy anyone in their path to totalitarianism.

Of course some will become wealthy, I myself am quite successful. What is obscene is that my returns on investment are taxed at a lower rate than money earned by the people who work for me. As far as jealousy of people who as you say “take chances” in the market I am invested in the market and have profited from my investments. A soldier or firefighter takes risks and should be rewarded for those very real risks. People investing in the market deserve no more recognition than someone playing the ponies at Belmont or sitting in front of a blackjack dealer. I have no interest in eliminating a market economy, only in sensible regulation to keep corporations from harming others, screwing workers and making sure we have a fair graduated tax system.

Forbes had it right when he proposed a 10% tax on everyone across the board.
