[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m always surprised at how we have become the country of “its hard so we don’t do it.”

Single payer is hard so we won’t do it
Taxing rich people is hard so we won’t do it
Making equitable education is hard so we won’t do it
Building up infrastructure is hard so we won’t do it

What is this??[/quote]

Funny. 
I find it hard to believe how so many choose to demonize the wealthy.  
Like Howard Schultz, for example.  He worked to make his millions.  
Keep on, folks.  The truly wealthy have options.  They can choose to leave.  
Much like they did in France.  [/quote]

No one is demonizing the wealthy - we are demonizing the wealth gap. Rising wealth gap is destructive to a country. I pay property tax for a property I bought after working 30 years. So I do not see a reason for super rich people to pay wealth tax on their diamonds, yachts, and planes they have worked for. Its okay if some wealthy folks leave America for this reason (although I can guarantee you that most would not). It's not like the wealthy people are sharing their wealth or obligation to maintain this country anyway. All the laws that the wealthy support is regressive and detrimental to the long term viability of this country. So, I do not care if they leave.[/quote]
