I will go Mr. Bandow one better. I suggest that all of the liberal Democrats — most of whom like Kerry, Kennedy, Obama, Clinton, Reid and Pelosi to name a few — and each of the fat cat union bosses and the glitterati who support the pitiful liberal cries for increased taxes really lead the way.
I urge each and every one of them to donate a mere 50% of their full worth to any government give-away program they think worthy. It is certainly not unfair or even particularly burdensome. It would leave the Clintons, for example, with about $50,000,000 to play with. My family could easily survive and improve our financial position greatly by living on the 2.5% interest on that sum.
p>It would raise billions and go, unimpeded by any extraneous government waste, directly to the specific waste they support. That would inspire me greatly! br> — Jay Molyneaux br> North Carolina
