“I say we need a very high income tax on all income over say a mullion or two, and that includes any dingbat loophole compensation.”
Well, tax that away and raise the capital gains and you’ve got no incentive to invent anything, build a company or even work harder.
Tax it all and give it to the lazy entitled have-nots???

I’m actually more incensed at corporate exexutive’s pay. At least athletes and performers are paid on a discretionary basis and if I choose to go to the US Open I know I’m contributing voluntarily to the Fed’s (ererer) paycheck.

with all due respect, LOL!!
If America really cared about who real heroes were, baseball players wouldn’t be getting $15 million and teachers getting $35,000. Our priorities are all out of whack. People seem to have made peace with it though.
I was hanging out with some “off the grid” types last night, for the first time in quite a while. It was quite an eye-opener. Fun, but also very thought-provoking.
