The existing inequalities which give some more of an access to the common inheritance are the result of looting, slavery, war lordism, drug running, etc. No one becomes ultra wealthy from their own effort, we all stand on the shoulders of millions. To recognise and pay the share of the wealth that legitimately belongs to everyone, is not Socialism, because it is done by progressive taxation, in a way that preserves private property and free markets. When any person or corporation becomes too wealthy there is no free market because they have unfair advantages. Trimming the bloat is essential to preserve the free market.

Our problems are so deep and entrenched that your little diatribe really says - well nothing at all - the richer you are you - the more taxes you should pay - ok duh. So what about the poorer you are the more you should be legally obligated to take whatever courses, job availabilities or career help offered before you go on welfare. You should be obligated to volunteer if you receive welfare at schools or soup kitchens. It IS socialism what your saying. 90% taxes on anyone is ridiculous - "good old Eisenhoweser" days and all. You are probably about middle class and write about these kinds of problems rather than coming out of your own pocket to deal with them. I am so tired of ignorant blanket statements by both the left and the right as to what is effective and good or bad. We all know right from wrong and can see who is contributing to the world and who isn't - now we need to lose the PR spin and make black and white calls as to what needs to be - not whine like sad sack hippies at a pot rally.
