^^^^^^^^
At a certain point we're going to have to go after wealth rather than income. That's where the big bucks are. I prefer to do this through a hefty estate tax. It's the most fair way to do it as you're not taking money that has been earned. The deceased obviously could not take it with him/her. The United States is still an extraordinarily weathly nation. Any suggestions that we can't afford to maintain the same level of support for poors and olds that we've had for decades is nonesense. We just have to summon will to battle the powers of organized money. It won't be easy, but it is imperative.
