Income Redistribution Political Party

I was wondering if this would work. All income over 100K is confiscated and redistributed to everyone equally as a check. Yes, it may hurt the heart surgeon, however you could provide incentives. The farmer running 10,000 acres may decide to sell 9,500. It would break up the land monopolies. But, the reality is the top 10% seem to be paid far more than they are worth. Gingrich uses the revolving door to set up businesses on K street. Santorum somehow makes tons even though he only had a job for a year. Ron Paul made his money off the laws written by health care lobbiests while we lag Japan in 6 years in life expectancy. Romney pays 13% but the housewife pays 47.5% on her investments, using that to gain uncompetitive advantage. Obama ghost writes books, using his popularity gained by paying off lobbiests to gain fame. Then you got the hollywood actress that slept with the director. Then you got the actors that got the luck of the draw Hanks, Cruise, and Clooney. Then you got the CEOs the set-up massive stock option plans, then the lobbied for inflation to bump up the stock price ripping off shareholders. Then you got Elon Musk, who got the government loans even though there were dozens in the electric car industry that would do as good or better job frugally.

Sorry to disappoint Riverman but STTTEEEEEELLLHHOOUUUSSEEE lost all its zing as an insult about 6 months ago.

Steelhouse, that is all nice and everything, but how will it make sure everyone has more? If we want to have more incentive to work then there are certainly better ways right?

Re: Income Redistribution Political Party

Technically Romney, Obama, Santorum, McCain, Meg Whitman, Gingrich, Teachers Unions, and Ron Paul not only are part of this party, they each collected the peoples money and decided to collect more than their fair share. If it is socialism Obama and especially Mitt Romney are socialists. Surprised I didn't get 90% approval by now, and plans to start offices and donations.

"HEEEYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOO! You didn't build that". How is buying a company using debt, putting that debt on the books of the company, then sending the profits overseas, then pumping out a dividend, so you pay only 15% tax not including what you funnel to your ira accounts using a k share scheme to get 10x the returns building anything. When Obama says you didn't build that, he is referring that our military and publics works projects offer value.
