But in any event, those millions were made at some point in history due to wise choices, smart investing and hard work. Just because you have wealth envy doesn't mean it's alright to try to forcibly take money away from someone when it is more rightfully theirs than it is yours.

Your right, I didnt word it well, but yeah,I agree with you.

$240,000 from a person from that has $1,000,000 to $999,999,999. In one year and doesnt have to pay taxes for 4 years, I dont see the problem.

One thing many of these people do give money like this to charities for certain tax deductions.

Pretty much what my father does.

Its helping some part of society but not all of the society.

As much as I can not stand poverty, atleast give them a chance to try and make a living.

Yup thats my liberal way of thinking, oh well. I come from a very liberal country.

If you didnt have a debt problem you wouldnt have certain countries buying up major things in your country.

It doesnt bother me if you dislike my views.

Let see hmm... each person can give $1/year for the next 3,000 years for all I care. Just will be more problems for your country.

The reason I said tax the rich for that amount, seeing some wont even notice paying that amount of money and will probably make it back within a year.
