seems like I am not allowed to tax the rich without hating them,
so let's cut to the chase and just hate them without bothering to tax them.
as long as there's no tax on hate, of course.
obviously we should get rid of government, state services and so on
and have zero tax and then use pure hatred to get trickle down to work
(if it doesn't get maundy money, it might at least extract blood from the stones).
meanwhile, those of us who are quite rich will use fear to combat the hate and trickle down - this will create a dynamic tension (so loved by Charles Atlas)
and build a fitter society.
of course it will.
Ayn Rand, I love you and your funny name. I love the politics of envy. I love the smell of revolution in the morning. So much healthier than starbucks.

A self-hating rich guy:)
