Well, you've certainly got all the lefty cliches memorized.

The point is, while the stupid people's anger is directed at the rich, the 
government is the reason the rich are so prosperous.  When you allow the 
government to pick winners and losers, the rich will always prosper and the 
rest of us will not.  Stupid people blame one party.  Smart people see that 
the entire game is rigged and seek to throw ALL the bums out.

The real estate crisis was manufactured by government manipulation of the 
market.  The bank bailouts were approved by the government (both parties.) 
Yet you blame the rich.  Your misplaced blame will get you exactly nothing.

Here's just one reason why you're such a fool.

<http://www.nj.com/business/index.ssf/2010/02/nj_loses_70b_in_wealth_over_fo.html>

NJ lost 70 BILLION as the rich moved to other places.

Here's Donald Trump talking about rich people leaving the US because of the 
taxes.

<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKHyLNvZwpI>

Will all the rich leave?  No.  Of course not. But every one that does takes 
untold wealth with them that is no longer available to be taxed.

What you don't seem to understand is these people take billions and 
billions of dollars and potential revenue for the government with them when 
they leave, and it won't come back until the country becomes sane again.

The problem isn't rich people.  It's a corrupt government populated by 
politicians who are playing favorites and enriching themselves and their 
favorites at our expense.  Until that stops, nothing will change.

Oh, and to answer your stupid questions - I could care less if Obama is a 
Muslim or not.  Obamacare already has the death panels in place.  Read the 
news.  Obama is clearly a socialist.  If you can't see that you're blind.

Here's a thought for you.  If we confiscated ALL the wealth of the 400 
richest people in America, it would cover the DEFICIT for one year.

<http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2011/mar/10/michael-moore/michael-moore-says-400-americans-have-more-wealth-/>

So how would you pay for NEXT year?

The problem isn't that we're not taxing the rich enough.  It's that our 
government is completely out of control and spending 40% more than it takes 
in.  The rich people can't save us from that insanity.
