One of the most interesting comments to my original post is that a tax increase of "just a few percentage points" on the more productive members of our society isn't Socialism. So, is there a magic number? Is a 5.9 percent increase just "helping those in need," while 6 percent is rampant wealth redistribution? Isn't there a principle involved, rather than a threshold?
"If you are going to critique a class of people, you should at least present a stronger case." Why? Do you seriously think that a few well turned phrases will convert the various Liberals on this forum from the error of their ways? My intent is to incite a lively discussion and get a variety of opinions. In spite of what you might think, I enjoy hearing the opinions of others and I occassionally learn something, even from Liberals.
