Way to avoid the question. Also, if your basis for the way the economy works is the ridiculous video that Katabob posted, then I pity you. I specifically did like the part that says "the people invested in their future together... they called it, paying taxes". Nice, hah. I don't know about you but I don't view my tax bill as an investment for my future.

Something tells me that you don't pay taxes at all, but assuming you do, then something else tells me that you don't understand what pays to maintain the entire infrastructure of the nation. Even if you don't like schools and public transportation because you are so wealthy you don't need them, you do like roads, running water and electricity don't you? And before you argue that you have water/electric bills, you are billed for the service, the city, which is funded by *gasp* taxes, pays to maintain the delivery system that gives you the service.

Do you really look back with fondness on the days that everyone was happy that they got to pay taxes as in the start of the video. I must not remember those times.

You must be young, "back in the day" everyone paid their "fair share" which they don't now. Again, you show your gross ignorance of social economics.

Again, your logic (and the premise of the video) is that rich people evil/immoral by nature of their wealth. I disagree. Some of them are but it is not because of their wealth, it is because they are evil/immoral.
