True story.  But the income you receive in excess of that which is
EARNED is "free money".  In neoclassical parlance it is called
"producer surplus".  And this surplus is normally captured by an
"owner" who hires a "business manager" or an accountant to do the
actual work, taking only the UNEARNED income.  And this "PASSIVE"
income is what will normally be taxed when ultra high incomes are
taxed.

Sheeeese.  I guess I gota ask--are you more of a fan of Marx or
Lennin?

Neither.  I am a liberal.  My passion is JUSTICE.

I knew you were a liberal, that means you must like both of them.

Since when is "justice" taking someone else's money to pay for your
health care?  Where I come from "justice" means putting thieves,
murderers, and rapists in prison.

That's because your definition of justice is rightarded.

The reclamation and redistribution of truly unearned increments is
justice in the pure sense.  Such incomes are stolen wages; they are
economic rent:

Spoken like a true communist!

You are a liberal who wants equility of outcome no matter the input of
the person. When you try for that people stop working. Taking from
the producers to give to the nonproducers was shown not to work in
Jamestown in the 1600s and is hasn't worked since.

Haven't you ever wondered why capitalism has to put up a fence to keep
people OUT while communism (your way) did it to keep people IN?
