Not the Onion: "Give Back? Yes, It's Time For The 99% To Give Back To The 1%"

89. And I didn't even touch on another very important part of this issue

A lot of money is made by people who really like finance which, arguably in many cases, doesn't "produce" anything. Sometimes is quite useful, like lending money to people to start a business. A lot of times it isn't useful - see above.

But what about us people who don't like finance? We're good at some things too. I'm an engineer and play at bein a physicist, and might actually contribute some interesting things to the world. But if I don't care about finance and, consequently, don't end up as a milionaire, does that mean I don't deserve the same deference as a stock broker? What about the dude who does an amazing job of fixing my roof? Does he not deserve the same treatment as this rich guy?

The truth is, the person who wrote that piece pulled his own dick off and stuck it up his own ass, just to be more full of himself. There are damn good reasons to be highly wary of how he came into money, and to make him pay more than what a poor person pays in taxes.
