#3 Odd... no mention of how much Unions give in direct $$$ and 'in-kind' contributions like phone banks, volunteers, etc...

#4 OK Juan. The billionaires, who by and large, earned their dollars - are awful people because all but 20 of the families support Republicans. Amirite? The Unions, who take their money with mandatory dues from worker's paychecks (who may be Republicans - like me), almost 100% support Democrats. Who's the immoral assholes here, Juan?

#5 Left out of Mr. Williams'' calculation is "bundling." But that doesn't fit the class warfare narrative.

#6 I don't remember Juan (or anyone) reporting the number of billionaires that supported Obama. I suspect they is a lot of the same names as the rich see the way the wind is blowing and try to have the winning side 'owe' them.

#7 ...well, the more you pile on 'soak the rich' the more they buy politicians to protect their riches, thus corrupting the entire process. Never figure that if you had something approaching a flat or three tier system minus any deductions (other than real children -18yo), they might ease off the buying and selling game. As far as the rich are concern the pols are just legal thieves and they're protecting their own interests like anyone else.

#8 I thought the problem from the leftists point of view was that the rich do not pay taxes and use the system full of loopholes to avoid taxes.

One vote per dollar taxes paid would only encourage the dead to vote.
