The me-first, screw-everyone-else crowd

I don't dispute this, but it works for one generation, not three or five or ten. That's royalty, and it's what we fought to free ourselves from during the Revolutionary War.

 

The Declaration of Independence guarantees our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The hoarding of wealth absolutely impinges on the pursuit of happiness by all... and it threatens liberty at several turns.

 

This is a good time to point out that we need to bring back a gigantic estate tax. That's one thing we should all agree on.

 

 

And who are you to tell a man he's not allowed to work hard enough to pay for his great-grand children's education? What did you do to earn the right to tax his family out of THEIR father's/mother's hard work. And by the way that is not royalty. Just 'cause our media likes to blow rich people up to biblical proportions does not make them royalty. Nor do you have any authority under either the implied nor expressed principals in the Constitution to take from one to "equal" your 'beginnings'.

What? Royalty was the king and his appointees who ruled over the colonies. Those who gained wealth by

 

their success, HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO LIFE, and the FREEDOM to PURSUE THEIR HAPPINESS BY BESTOWING upon

 

their heirs the wealth that they ALREADY PAID TAXES ON ALL THEIR LIVES.

 

Hoarding of wealth just makes you envious, which may make you pout and give up being successful,

 

but you ARE NOT FREE to try to TAKE THEIR WEALTH, DESTROY THEIR PURSUIT OF THEIR HAPPINESS, DESTROY THEIR DREAMS

 

and ENSLAVE their heirs to the hardships of having that wealth taken in a fit of corrupt socialist double talk.

 

 

Give us a break. Really.
