Ok miles I want to give you a real life example of one of my good friends in San Jose California. I graduated high school with him in 1982 and his father moved out to California that year. He worked two jobs very hard and never went to college invested his money in real estate and wound up now owning 5 houses. 3 of them are in Texas and two in California. The average price of all the houses are about $400,000 each. Means he has about 2 million dollars worth of assets right now and the houses are all paid off. He took out a 2nd loan against the two million dollars and invested heavily during the early 2000s in the stock market and made a killing and he is now worth about 6 million US dollars. He earned it the hard way. I do not think people like him with six million dollars worth of assets should have to pay more than their Fair of taxes just to help out the poor people in the inner cities and ghettos. Whatever happened to every man for himself?
