You have no constitutional right to be rich, but you have the opportunity.

That is the lie. This unequal wealth distribution on par with 3rd world nations shows that the opportunity for advancement for 99% of the population is not happening. Two conclusions can be reached from this. Either 99% of the American people are stupid/lazy which is the Republican position stated often - but I consider it a position akin to anti-Americanism.

The other more likely conclusion is that the system is rigged.

Case in point Enron traders talking about how they raped Grandma from her savings:

And if you had your way, according to many of your own posts, you'd rape me of my savings. You'd like to rape every other productive American citizen of their savings to pay for the unproductive.

What makes you think that you're entitled to my money?

What makes you different from those Enron thieves?

You are productive because you live in a place where there is potable water, roads, Internet, police and a defense force.

Move to Somalia the Congo, Liberia or Burundi where there is limited or no govt and no taxes and let's see how productive you are there.

Your claim to productivity did not arise in a vacuum. The infrastructure of society - paid for by taxes - is what allowed your productivity. How productive would you be if for example we did away with public assistance to the poor. Can you work while there is rioting in the street or maybe an insurgency or an epidemic not treated by tax funded govt?

Lastly, even Jesus Christ, the Lord made flesh himself tells you not to complain about paying taxes with money the govt creates. Whose seal is on those dollar bills you don't want to pay taxes with?

PS: There could be alternatives to direct taxation like import duties, or direct ownership of natural resources (no more private oil patches or private mines) like seen in Norway and use that as an alternative revenue stream but I have a feeling even in those cases you social darwinists would be against using that money to aid the poor in any way also based on this 'let the weak die' philosophy.

Are you suggesting the productive rich should feel something like gratitude to their country and give back some of the wealth their country made it possible for them to earn?

For shame!

No, he's suggesting the government TAKE MORE my money by force, without my consent. The government already takes a sizable portion of my money, so I 'give back' already.

Then they spend my money on wars and welfare. I don't consent to either.

Do you believe we would be better off if we increased revenue to the government?

Your consent? This is a republic.
