A voice of reason in the wilderness. These people (or is it all one person with multiple accounts?) disinter tired, old socialist notions that have no basis in reality. Indeed, let's just close all the tax "loopholes" and redistribute $2T to the least productive people and see what happens. What a great idea!

Excuse me, but I have to get back to the real world, now. Enjoy eating the goose, but don't complain tomorrow when you run out of golden eggs!

Yep. They have no clue. I've come to the conclusion that trying to get people to see reason is futile, but old habits die hard.

> to the least productive people

BIG goes to everyone. It replaces (among other things) programs which go to the "least productive people". So your criticism seems misplaced.
