Three words: tax the rich.

@Strandjunker Taxing the rich is a logical step but we may be beyond the stage where the political power to do so has been lost by the past idiocy of American voters. When there is no political solution, what is the next step? Is it a violent one? History seems to indicate it could come. People dance around that question in fear of being advocates of that step. I am not but the inevitability scares the hell out of me.
