   Yep, guessed you missed it, all of it. The people simply moved their   
   money off shore, they were not slaves to the poor. When our rates   
   dropped why do you think people from other countries came in here and   
   invested here, because they wanted to pay high taxes?   
      
   You are blinded, the point is he wants to take your money, he wants to   
   take from anyone they call rich and currently the bar has been dropped   
   to 150K, you blindly miss the part that he is an avowed   
   socialist/marxist. You missed the part that it is what motivates him.   
      
   As to your comments about the taxes dropping, when they did the economy   
   went up, money flowed in from all over the world.   
      
   You also missed the part where I stated that if he simply took all the   
   wealth from the "rich" it would not support the country for even a year,   
   9 months at best.   
      
   I hope you enjoy paying taxes, I hope you love paying higher prices for   
   goods and food because they overtaxed corporations, I hope you enjoy it   
   when the poor and the wealthy subsidize electric cars in Calif and that   
   the poor cannot buy them even with assistance.   
      
   Even if you are a welfare type person higher taxation of corporations   
   reduces the value of the monies you receive so that your paltry $600   
   won't even by $400 of today's valued goods.   
      
   I hope you enjoy the fact that your heirs will never have it as good as   
   you did.
