"Start giving this spread it around and for the benefit of everyone, irregardless, and we all lose." Explain this so it makes sense and doesnt sound completely self-serving. For those who havent noticed, we have a progressive tax code where those who can afford to pay more, do, at least in theory. Nobody is, of course, talking about turning ones entire paycheck over, just a small slice, maybe 1%. To say that anyone needs to accumulate all the wealth they can at the expense of others IN CASE they may need it at some point in the future they decide they want a new boat, etc. sounds like GREED IS GOOD and I GOT MINE all over again. Ayers has been repudiated by Obama, as he should be. What more do you want? self-immolation? Obama has drawn the line of well-to-do at 250k- are you saying those people are NOT well-to-do ? Are the rich saying their ONLY concern is their employees? Please. What about the child labor Nike uses to make their expensive shoes at $3 a day, while Nike makes millions? The rich are in business to make themselves rich and frequently couldnt care less about the employees, except as they relate to making them richer. The fact that they have employees is often seen as a necessary nuisance, especially to the self-centered and egotistical owners.
