Good job torpedoing this discussion, I hope you get a bonus from your "think tank". None of your points should preclude us from doing something, you'd have us just throw up our hands and say "aw shucks, those rich fella's are just too smart."

"torpedoing"? What was this discussion supposed to be about?

Why do you assume this user is in a "think tank"?

What's wrong with being financially successful, aside from the fact that you either aren't or are pandering to people who aren't?

The discussion is about the merits of raising taxes and this user derailed a large part, probably the only part most people will read, into a discussion on how we could or could not tax the wealthy.
