    Ha ha ha..........another old liberal fart who has lived the life. Enjoyed every creature comfort known to man. Taken advantage of every tax break possible, eaten at the finest restaurants, owned multiple homes in luxurious locations, travels on a fossil fuel burning private jet, has friends who have entertained him on their huge fossil fuel burning 250 foot yachts, has invested millions in his own historic art collection, had his ass kissed by thousands of liberals, stays at the most luxurious hotels on his travels around the world, again while on his private fossil fuel burning luxurious jet.

    What does he want to tell all of us now that he is near the dirt nap? That we should give our money away and take life's goals down a notch just like he didn't.

    I will never be played like they certainly are playing you, you goose stepping follower. None of these a-holes want to do this when they are young and none of them want to take their lifestyles down a notch but by God APAG believes we should heed their hypocritical advice. FFS, quit being such a blind follower.

    You sound jealous.

    I am most certainly envious of his friends with 250 ft luxurious yachts and the equivalent he pays for his luxury jet at his beck and call (I pay a painful $10K for one trip in that thing and it hurts, he pays equivalently $0.05 of his monthly income and doesn't feel a thing). Hell yes I am envious. What a life that would be for your wife and kids as well. Europe in 4 hours while it takes me 4 hours to drive to Nashville. Europe? Nashville? I take Europe on a luxury jet while reading the letters section in Penthouse ("I never thought this would happen to me") and someone else doing the driving.

    “I’ve come to realize that no amount of philanthropic commitment will compensate for the deep inequities...it’s time start talking seriously about a wealth tax.”

    Here's another question for you to dodge APAG. Why is a gap in wealth a bad thing? How have I been harmed by the gap in my wealth and Mark Zuckerberg's wealth over the last 10 years? Our wealth couldn't be more unequal and the gap between his wealth and my wealth has only grown over the last 10 to 15 years but I want to know how I or society has been harmed on account of this growing "inequality?"


    And does anyone really believe that the problems with the public schools in this country are on account of lack of money?

    Those whining about wealth inequality are voting to import third world peasants into the US and have the American middle class pay for them. Cali has 1/8 of the US population and 1/3 of the welfare cases. Quite the plan.

    Odd how they never factor that in when it comes to wealth inequality.

    Here is how a wealth tax works.

    1. You take money from wealthy people.
    2. You give it to poor people
    3. Poor people rush out and spend it all
    4. The money is now back in the hands of the wealthy.

    Yeah, let’s hear from the dumbfuck who doesn’t think that Medicare adds to our deficit and that people can defer payments on their student loans indefinitely, how it really works.

    Bob answer this question. When Obama raised the top tax rate back to 39.6%. did they add to the food stamp or other programs for the poor?

    Hondo answer the question:

    The wealth division between the rich and middle class is a stupid argument, mainly because it ignores the fact that the middle class in this country have a much better quality of life than most middle class people around the world. Why can’t the rich be rich?

    Flattening the tax code to create a permanent uber class isn't really just about how well the rest of the people live.

    Because lazy, unsuccessful, moronic, leftists hate success. It's envy and it's heavily promoted by the democratic party which is run by uber wealthy people. The losers wish to punish the successful and live off of the their sweat and toil. One of the seven deadly sins.

    We see it here every day.

    Maybe I'll sign up for food stamps and welfare. That will make you look at me as successful.
