I think you think I want to destroy the upper class. I don't. I just think that FU money should be taxed more heavily than regular money. When Warren Buffett's janitor pays a higher effective tax rate than he does, something is wrong. But that doesn't mean it's right to pauperize Warren Buffett.

There are so many incentives to become rich that it's laughable to say that you could destroy them all through a carefully calculated welfare program.
