As I said earlier, government bureaucrats can (and will) kill you! Your statement "A more equitable distribution of income..." really grates me! Who will re-distribute that income from the ones who earned it to those with no moral claim to it? Will the grossly immoral Ted Kennedy or George Bush do it? Will James Swayze do it. Give that job to me...I have some ideas how to spend Bill Gates money. James, you are a socialist. Don't be ashamed to admit it. At least I would know where you are coming from. In some of your post you claim to respect capitalism but there is always that "but"! After that you go on to express your socialist world-view which at best "allows" people to keep some of their money and at worst creates a poverty stricken slum like the former U.S.S.R. and current Cuba and North Korea by banning capitalism.
