There is a fine-line there though, and you really have to fight, IMO, not to stray too far of the left or right of the line ... not all rich-people are business-owners and not all business-owners are rich, just as not all rich-people are employers, nor are all employers rich. There's a ton of other issues that compound the debate as well.

Hypothetically, the govt. shouldn't have the right to take someone's hard-earned paycheck, but there's roads to build, borders to protect, infrastructure to maintain & the elderly/disabled to care for. I've lived in third world countries where the wealthiest rule unchecked and they have no conscience ... these are the countries where you will find the most abject poverty and lack of any type of infrastructure.

People should be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor, but we have a responsibility to our country and fellow man. We also need smaller government and a way to prevent our elected officials on Capitol Hill from abusing the system.

It's a fine line.

What the hell are you doing in Detroit? You should be in Washington D.C.!

The people smart enough to run this country are smart enough to know they want no part of running this country.
