                      Bravo.



                      We need another Milton Friedman. He was so good at communicating principles of liberty and free market capitalism.

                          I'm not sure why he stops at 45%, he should go even higher and allow the funding of even more programs. If he just went to 70%, the numbers would be incredible.

                          I also like the idea of getting rid of the capital gains exemption on inherited assets. When your parents die and leave that $300k house they bought for $80k back in 1975, I'm sure the heir that's barely scraping by and hoping to live in the house will appreciate the magnanimity of this NY Times writer with other peoples money.
                          Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                            What if you threw in a clause that it did not apply to the first $1M or so?

                            Funny what lengths we go to in order to protect our poor billionaires.

                              Why not strip the billionaires of 90% of the assets they already have? The poorest one would still be "scraping" by with only $100 million.

                              There's not very many billionaires and a lot of everyone else, the votes are.certainly there. That money sure would pay for a lot of stuff.

                                Why do people think they are entitled to other people's money? There are more of us and we think you have too much, so we will just take it? What's the moral principle here?
