by the way ... why would you want to take jobs away from the homeless? sound kind of fascist to me ...

Building affordable hosuing for the homeless is fascist ? You really are pathetic.

100% estate tax. Lets see how much more equal the playing field gets when the rich cant pass on the privilages of wealth to their heirs (of course it still wouldnt stop them doing so whilst alive so probably would help that much but it is worth a try). Everyone in America should get fair and equal chance to succeed that should be our objective.

Scrumpy - ordinarily I'd be offended but, if to be pathetic is to be at the opposite end of the spectrum to you, I will wear my badge with honour!

Except that would remove the urge, the drive to suceed...isn't that what it's all about? Sounds a little Marxist (and a lot simplistic) for my liking.

Didnt know you were such a big fan of an aristocracy.

Its not marxist, dont be silly. You still enjoy the fruits of your success during your life thats seems a pretty big incentive to me.
