Comment on I’m in the 1 Percent. Please, Raise My Taxesparent

Because one is just cynical pandering to non-rich people and an increase in government power at the expense of liberty while the other is actually effective at reducing poverty, reducing wealth inequality, and reducing dependence on the government. Throwing money at the problem doesn't work, especially a 5% increase. The problem is how corporations are structured.

I think we're both just going to have to walk away from this one ol chap. You're never going to be able to convince me that rich people should exist, and I'm never going to be able to convince you that liberty is an illusion. Well played though.
