Vox Dementia

The amazing thing is the guy who wrote this:
Obama’s considerably to the right of me when it comes to these questions: If it were up to me, the top marginal tax rate would be OVER 100% as it was for a breif period under FDR, and I’d use the money to repair the damage wrought to our social fabric by the gilded-age-level of wealth inequalities that have resulted (as they have always resulted) from the low marginal tax rates of the last 30 years.
It’s time to pitch the “Reagan revolution” into the garbage dump of history where it belongs. It has come close to destroying the the social fabric of this country.
Enough.
And this:
One more thing: You’re damned right it is “class warfare” – only it’s been waged by the rich and powerful against everyone else. Why do they only call it class warfare when we fight back?
Is probably the most reasonable person still writing for Vox Nova.
I have to admit that it’s kind of cute to watch middle class grad students pretend that they’re part of the revolutionary vanguard. You just wanna pinch their cheeks and tussle their hair.

Over 100%??? Does this guy even understand basic math? Okay, okay, stupid question. If he understood basic math he wouldn’t be a liberal.
Maybe you should start reading up on what popes have said about income distribution. You might find it enlightening.
Somehow, Minion, I doubt the Pope’s suggest we tax hardware dealers and redistribute the proceeds to the teachers’ unions, the trial lawyers, and Hollywood.
