Yeh, Soak the Rich

We keep hearing that "the rich" are not paying their fair share of taxes. You know, those evil Wall Street types, Corporate executives, etc. Well, I have come to the conclusion that they should probably pay at least 50% tax on their earned incomes, but I think we should take it one step further.  Let's include a stipulation that all of the "rich" (anyone with a net worth over $1 million) pay 30% of their net worth to the government. Over the course of several years, their net worth would dwindle until it was in the range of the "Middle class", What could be more "fair" than that? Everyone would be equal and we could stop the "class warfare" because everybody would basically be the same. The Lefties Socialistic Utopia would be here and we could all live in Nirvana forever. Imagine how many trillions of dollars a plan like that could raise. We could probably come close to paying off the national debt the first year. I mean this would include people like the Kennedy's, John Kerry, John Corzine, Jay Rockefeller, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, etc. Heck, we could probably get $1-2 trillion just from the people I mentioned. Why haven't any of those Progressive/Liberal people in Congress thought of this? Oh, that's right, all those people I mentioned are Liberals, and being the hypocrites they are, they wouldn't want to take from their own!! Nope, we have to take money from the evil "rich" conservatives, not the good "rich" Liberals.
