90. Sigh... I do so love specious comparisons.
That doesn't make it the way to go, now does it?
And yet somehow the comparison between the ownership of human beings by other human beings and the wealthy paying higher taxes just doesn't *quite* ring as true as it should, does it?

I'd cry crocodile tears for the "poor, poor wealthy" as they consume more resources than many small countries but I can't even really manage that much.

You can advocate for 90% taxation or even 100% taxation if you wish.
I wasn't.

I will not.
I have no interest in making you.
And I doubt seriously if you would ever be effected by such a tax.

I was merely responding to what I found to be flaws in your reasoning.
