One of Hussein's favorite economists, Paul Krugman, demonstrates a severe case of wealth envy.

"People contemplating that second $100 million might say, 'Is this really what I want to do with my life?'  And that would be a terrible thing if you thought that, on average, that people who acquire that second $100 million are doing great things for society, but I think we've gotten a pretty good lesson that that's mostly not true."

Too many Democrats have enough trouble paying the percentages now!  Up the ante and far more will be dodging their responsibilities.  Oh well, all that means is a better resume for the Obama Administration positions.

Why not? All of Krugman's other policies have worked a treat ::)

This has to be one of the stupidest statements ever by a Govt offical in Obamao's
camp, I mean the guy has got to be on PCP or something.

Also, since this idiot is more likely to be a millionarie than the avergae American so lets tax him first and see if his plan works.

You mean its not true the government know how to spend it more wisely?

Krugman knows this is a stupid suggestion, you know all the British millionaires took their money elsewhere when they had that law, and millionaires have accountants who can work out how to get around the rules.

Try it on the democrat-voting multi-millionaires first. John Kerry would be a good one to ask to volunteer first.

So true...

Also, is Kerry still trying to find out where to dock his boat??

The would not only stop the creation of new small businesses, but it would prompt lots of the ones currently open to close down.

But on the plus side I'm sure this made Sioux Rebel so happy that he can hardly contain himself.  ;D ;D ;D
If you believe big government is the solution then you are a liberal. If you believe big government is the problem then you are a conservative.

Paul Krugman?

This says it all -

Professor of Economics and International Affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University

Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.
Μηκέθ ὅλως περὶ τοῦ οἷόν τινα εἶναι τὸν ἀγαθὸν ἄνδρα διαλέγεσθαι, ἀλλὰ εἶναι τοιοῦτον.

Is that anything like the Joey Butafucco school of ethics?
