methinks you're the one blinded by philosophy friend. I get the impression the logical side of your brain knows I am right and is battling with your emotional side. You've got lots of hatred/envy of the rich that has built up over the past few years and it's a shame that the emotion usually wins that fight.

The debate is where to draw the line of course. Is it really moral to tax away 60,000 sandwiches just because he can afford it? Or do you want to demand an equal sacrifice from both of them once they get past the ability to feed themselves and their family? Offering say a 6-7 sandwich per day exemption? Offering enough for every man to feed himself and his kids before you start taxing away a flat amount of his excess production seems much more fair than imposing huge penalties on the guy who happens to be able to produce more sandwiches.
And again..the problem with your philosophy is that you seem to assume those sandwiches will always just "be there" for you to tax..that their quantity is fixed in the heavens and will be unaffected by the act of taxing them away or increasing the cost to make them. This is nonsense. Confiscating a large portion of the man's sandwiches certainly effects his desire to keep producing them. If I start a business and employee a few dozen workers on an assembly line to produce a million sandwiches, and you decide to tax away 800,000 of them..because after all 200k is "plenty" for me, Uh Uh...Pardon my language but

you.. I'm not going to bother making them any more..risking my time, energy, and hard earned wealth to produce so much when 80% of what I earn is taxed away.. I'll take my business overseas asap, then all of the American bread makers and assembly workers who relied on my productive capacity will starve as well.
Nice job geniuses..Way to help out the little guy!
You folks need to get the idea out of your head that you can help the poor by tearing down the rich. It doesn't work. It never has and it never will. Free markets have provided a general increase in living standards for millions of people over the past century. True, the wealth was not distributed evenly, but the vast majority were much better off than under schemes of central planning. The world is an unequal place. People will always live in different circumstances and have unequal skills, knowledge, opportunities, and ambitions, so naturally inequality will exist. It will ALWAYS be a part of any free society and there's nothing wrong with that. The only way to achieve equality of outcome is to suppress human liberty and drag everyone down to a mediocre average. Look at the squalor of North Korea or Soviet Russia if you want to see the end result of pure economic egalitarianism.
