One last thing to put wealth creation in perspective:

If you and I did everything in life exactly the same except that at age 22 I buy a car for $10,000 and you buy a car for $20,000, I invest $10,000 earning 10%. After 30 years I will have $198,000 more money than you.

Then if every 5 years I spend $10,000 less each time we buy a car over that 30 year period and I invest the difference earning 10%, I will have $480,000 more money than you.

So, after a life time of buying modest vehicles compared to you, you would have the government take the money I saved and give some of it to you?!? I am happy we have the 2nd Amendment!
