"California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa is the richest lawmaker on Capitol Hill, with a net worth estimated at about $251 million."
Why, that NASTY grasping, selfish Republican! How DARE he hoard such wealth with so many starving homeless undocumented immigrant children of color in this country?
Who are the next four richest? We The People oughta go to WA DC and just rend them limb from limb and devour their wriggling carcasses! That'd teach them! Then the honest, upright, generous Democrats could make SURE that wealth is fairly distributed; everybody KNOWS Democrats aren't Evil Grasping Hoarders!
"Next in line: Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.), worth about $244.7 million; Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), worth about $214.5 million; Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), worth about $209.7 million; and Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), worth about $208.8 million."

Yes, we should collect all the assets, wealth, and resources available to humanity, specifically taking it away from achievers, and then, distribute it all equally among all people by dividing it fairly. THEN there will be no more war, gangs and poverty. Everyone will be happy and we can spend more time singing and drinking Coca-cola.

Here's an idea. Every year, we have a lottery. First, one person with assets over $100 million is chosen, and then one person with assets under $1 million is chosen. All except $1 million is taken from the first person and given to the second.
That way, we have wealth redistribution without equality.

If the first guy had 150 Million, then the newly rich guy would be eligible to be stripped of his new wealth the following year.
There's a guy in my area who was famous for literally starting his big company in a garage.
I heard that over and over.
Then I found out he DID start in his garage but with MILLIONS of dollars his wife had inherited!
People only tried telling me the ""garage"" story one or twice after that but I confess I enjoyed unloading on them.

Problem is, sarcasm is wasted on those who need it the most.

Why 'never mind'?
How do these people vote on tax issues? Not every wealthy person sits in their cellar, counting their coins.

So put it somewhere that will keep up with inflation. Preferably in a business in a tax jurisdiction with low/no capital gains or dividend taxes.

You do realize that inflation is the way that tax cuts are funded, don't you?

Sure, but tax cuts *help* starve the beast, just as drunk sailoring[*] feeds it.
[*] Kennedy had this one down pat, in all senses of the phrase

Only if spending is restrain. The GOP cut taxes *and* increased spending. No starvation today, only future destitution.

I don't recall ever saying that GWB was a conservative, only that he was far better than the alternatives. He did have the banking crisis right, unlike your leftist heroes.
