The president gave a speech last week and actually said that there comes a point where one has earned enough money. Uh, that sounds very undemocratic and doesn't adhere to the capitalistic mind set of our country. So, what happens when you cross this 'line' of income and you make too much? Do we continue to work hard but hand out the 'surplus' to someone who is not working? If we are working to support a business venture, should we be allowed to only make so much and no more? Eventually, wouldn't that cut back on available jobs in your business if you couldn't expand at will?
It is also interesting to note that the ones who advocate redistribution of income are usually quite well off themselves and I have yet to see them handing over any 'extra' cash.
There are many countries with a history of putting caps on how much a person can make and what he can do with the money he earns and it hasn't been a successful history. Why would our government advocate the same for us?
