[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taxing "the rich" accomplishes little, leaving aside the morality of unilaterally taking money from people who are successful to redistribute it to those who are not, and calling that "fair".  Countries with high levels of taxation have uniformly lower standards of living along with their more expansive social services - everybody gets to live in a small house or apartment, drive a small car, have small appliances, and have little disposable income.  In return, they receive socialized medicine which, by all reports, is better than nothing but not necessarily by much, especially if you need timely or sophisticated care.

Different models and different outcomes.  Not everyone wants to live like a typical Swede or Englishman but would prefer instead the opportunity for a better lifestyle, even if that is not guaranteed in a free market economy.[/quote]

You seem ok with children going hungry so billionaires get a tax break. You are what is wrong with America.[/quote]

No child is hungry because someone developed a successful product or service and thereby became wealthy.  Dependence on the government to feed one's children reveals more about the parents of such children than it does about people who have been successful and who don't depend on the government to keep them fed.

Agree.

Who has multiple children when they continually cannot even feed one of them? [/quote]

Actually the answer in all sociology classes and studies is that the un/underemployed single woman “wants to feel needed” so has a baby with a non-spouse. And then another. And another. 
The fatherless welfare children are then “raised” by the maternal grandmother or aunt. [/quote]

the real issue isn’t too many kids—it’s too little justice and too much wealth protection for the rich[/quote]

Yeah! That’ll fix those non-parenting parents who were never parented themselves! [/quote]
