This "top earner" wants more tax increases. I'm not alone. What I do not want is to be subject to violent attacks for getting up and going to work in the morning, nor to be compared to Glenn Beck for having no sympathy for the violent criminals doing so.

And I feel the same. But here's more food for thought: when you've nothing to lose, you basically lose it. And that, sadly, is where a lot of Americans have been heading since late 2007.

Grew up on inadequate food stamps. The people with nothing to lose are busy trying to find something to lose. These thugs are not those people.

Perhaps you should do something about income inequality then.

Like smash bus windows? There are other ways to solve problems. I help with some of them. Do you assume I don't, or do you just think violence is always the answer?

What are your suggestions?

[nknighthb]

None that will satisfy anyone who thinks smashing a bus window is a valid suggestion.

Since nobody has said that, I presume you don't really have an answer.

Edit: I see that you've edited your earlier comments since I replied to muddy things and make it look as though your straw man was part of the dialog all along.
