There's ZERO reason to think that one man should earn the sum of what 20,000 people earn. Government, which represents its citizens, can help with rational safety nets and income redistribution. It's too bad the Republicunts love to exploit people's morals. It was alcohol in the early 1900s. Race in the 1950s and not its gays.
ALSO Ron Paul is retarded.

My god, redistribution is akin to slavery, taking one man's hard work and giving to another? I'm all for voluntarily helping people, but forced redistribution is Communism, and as we all know, it doesn't work. If you really think that it does, go read a book or GTFO. Honestly, what I earn, what I produce is solely MINE unless I choose voluntarily to give it up and bestow onto someone else. The "fair tax" thing is an oxymoron: there's no such thing as a tax that is fair as it takes from one by force, coercion. If someone makes what twenty thousand people make, it's their own fault. It's not like it's terribly hard to get a good job in America as long as one isn't retarded...oh wait that's at least one fourth of the population, nevermind then.
