What political theory are you referencing here, Henry? The theory of how unless your house has a tennis court you aren't rich?
Yeah I definitely remember that being covered in Poli Sci. You know, there's like Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, then a big discussion about how embarrassing it would be to drive a 5-series BMW(can you even call that a car?). Serious political theory.
The most hilarious thing in this is,
1) Henry17 is Canadian, which means he has no idea what the tax discussion is and wouldn't be affected by any changes made to go back to Clinton era tax rates. Did Bill Clinton have an insane hatred of rich people?
2) If Henry 17 was in America, he also wouldn't be affected. Obama is not proposing to raise fictional taxes on the fictional income of internet personas, Henry. Only real dollars, in real life, that you make from a real job.
