75. Sensible and affordable? You mean we can't afford education and health care for all
Wed Dec 30, 2015, 02:32 AM
Dec 2015

because you don't want to have to share your wealth? Well, I have news for you, I am tired of having to pay your share and mine when I donate to the homeless and a myriad of other causes because I can't turn my back on them.

Time for you and all the other wealthy individuals to pay your fair share.

Please remember that it is only by the approval of the masses that you have any wealth. It can be taken away at any time. I suggest you willingly help out before that happens.
