Did I say mandatory? I meant optional! You're "free" to die in a cardboard box under a freeway as a market capitalist scarecrow warning to the other ants so they keep showing up to make us more!

Absolutely, but that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about creating a tax on an unknown number that will apply to a lot of not rich people. And then taxing it again later for I -don't-know-how-many times.

How about instead, we make a flat tax and remove loop holes in or any number of ways that apply across the board.

I don't have a problem with people wanting to be rich or even being rich. I have a problem with how they get there and what they do when they get there. It's completely unfair and oppressive, crushing people who dare stand in the way, forced labour, buying politicians, etc. I'm sorry but I'm not a communist. Just arbitrarily deciding anything a rich person does should be illegal because a rich person does it is just silly.
