About the Rich Paying Their "Fair Share"
I keep thinking when they keep saying this--"Hell I don't want them to pay their fair share. I want them to bear an incredibly unfairly high share, to pay back for all those years that we cut their taxes to the bone, especially when you consider how much they have left AFTER taxes. I want them to pay so much they won't be able to afford to buy treasury bills, because we took their money instead directly. We don't have to pay them interest that way.

WTF do we want them to pay a FAIR share for--eat them whole! We need to give the rich such a tax wedgie as to push that tax increase so far into their crack that it'll take decades to dislodge it. Fair, ptewy, pish-posh, and whatever other cutsie words one can think of to say, and still relatively follow DUs' guidelines!!

1. I'd just be satisfied if we brought the 90% tax bracket back.
Allowing for exemptions if they actually used their money to create jobs instead of just hording it or funneling it overseas.
