JFM,

I'm not offended, per se, I simply feel that you are wrong, and have misunderstood my opinion of "wealth" ownership. We already share our "wealth" with the government, in order to finance our govt. and it's programming, thru income and other taxes. If what you suggest, in it's purest form, were true, we would pay NO taxes whatsover! Since that is clearly not the case, why not structure the taxes we pay to get the most bang for our buck and help those who truly need it, instead of further subsidizing those who already have more than everyone else?

That's all I am suggesting, not that anyones' "wealth" belongs to the "State". You are way off base and twisting my words. I am merely drawing an analogy between taxes paid and "dues" for belonging to, participating in, and benefitting from, our system. I'm not suggesting anything here that we are not already doing.


Regards,

Jim
