The true outrage isn’t that there are billionaires who don’t pay federal income taxes but that, in our allegedly “civilized” society, billionaires even exist.

"Ironically pure Capitalism fails for the same reason as pure Socialism.

They both depend upon the better angels of human nature, which often do not appear.

Capitalism depends upon the rich being fair and just even if they don't have to, and Socialism depends upon people working even if they don't have to.

Neither is realistic, or in concert with human nature. The only answer is a combination of both, where market forces are allowed to thrive so long as they're fair and just to the working and poor."
