Same old story. People rail against taxes, but want the things taxes pay for. I'm sure you could find someone making the same rant 150 years ago.

  This is way worse than that -- he's literally saying that paying laborers is an "inhuman draining of the productive." > But the man who works as a janitor in the factory producing that invention, receives an enormous payment in proportion to the mental effort that his job requires of him. > The man at the bottom who, left to himself, would starve in his hopeless ineptitude, contributes nothing to those above him, but receives the bonus of all of their brains. That's an enormously toxic view of the bulk of humanity. Maybe he should head out to Trump Country and say to all those blue collar types that he feels they are hopelessly inept and contribute nothing to society and would starve without men like himself.
