Here we go again. Obama ran on spending other people's money (OPM) and 'redistribution of wealth'. It's fun to demonize billionaires...the problem is the math never works out like people think it will. There are 325,000,000 people in America but there are only about 540 billionaires.

If you took $1 from every American you'd have $325 million bucks. To get $325 million from 540 people each would have to give $601,851.

But socialist are ok with this. After all, that's not their money....they didn't build that company.

The problem with soaking the rich is rich people didn't get to be rich being stupid. Increase their taxes and they will raise prices of their good and services and reduce costa by laying people off and cutting wages and benefits.

"Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is proposing a 2 percent annual tax on citizens with a net worth of over $50 billion."

Wow, now they are proposing taxing wealth that has already been taxed! This is not income tax, this is not property tax, this is not a tax on good or services....this would be a tax on your net worth? Slippery slope.....

Seriously? I think serious is way over used.....to the point that no one takes the word "serious", seriously anymore.

Serious means important, significant, consequential, of consequence, momentous, of moment, key, grave, weighty, far-reaching, major.

But we (society) use it like a cliché. Seriously dude.
