[quote]I think you are under educated on what exactly would happen in a socialist democratic system. Forcibly taking someone's wealth would not happen.[/quote] Taxing the wealthy more than the middle and lower class IS forcibly taking their wealth. The only way you guarantee what you're saying is a flat tax rate for all which has never been on the table but I digress... That or a socialist democratic system was never what I was arguing. I was giving you a retort to your original comment about Not oweing Trump (or read that as the wealthy) anything. You're right, he doesn't, but he doesn't owe you anything either and shouldn't be forced to support the less wealthy just because he worked hard and was fortuitous. Hard work is not only measure in sweat and blood...often it's measured in mental analysis, strategy, and just plan personal drive. You damn well better believe that he (and most wealthy people) worked real hard at that. For the record, my view isn't really about Trump or his candidacy, it's simply that I believe that everyone should be taxed equally or it creates disincentive for someone. Everyone earned their money (rich or poor) and they are entitled to it. Nobody should pay more just cuz they made more
