There is only one real tax on the wealthy: a revolution in which all property rights are reset. Everything else is a war between the wealthy themselves to redistribute things in their favor.

And there you sit with probably $50k-100k in assets while the average African has less than one thousand dollars.

If you truly wanted the "revolution" to be fair, then all the money would go to third world countries and you'd be left with $3000. But nope, you actually want to be allowed to steal from the rich so you can live an American middle class life without having to work.

The parent post didn't say "and I'll benefit from this". Why can't they have made an honest post -- a truly fair economy would start with most citizens of first-world countries losing everything we've got.
I'm not American, and I'm not middle class. Thanks.
