Well there are places where they have little, no, and flat taxation.

We know what happens.

The rich get very very very very rich. And the poor get very very very very very poor, and there is no middle class.

Look at Paraguay, Columbia, Peru. They have such systems. Many say the lack of support for the lower classes is what has kept them 3rd world nations.

We know not from where the next Jonus Saulk is going to come. He could come from a household like mine, or from that of a crack whore in Compton California. We all benefit from the Jonus Saulks of the world. If we leave him in Compton and don't educate him, we all lose.

We like to preach to the world that America is about equality of opportunity.

It all depends on what standards we want to have as a society. Do we want the upper class living in huge houses full of very cheap servants, while the underclass picks through our garbage like what happens in Brazil?

I don't think supporting the country that has been so good to me is "class warfare." I think it's payback.
