Tax fairness

Obama is always blathering about the rich paying their fair share of taxes, about  lifting the burden off the middle class by the rich paying "a little" more, blah, blah, blah, blah.  All knee-jerk liberals spout the same nonsense, and always have.  What all these cynical operatives are doing is sewing seeds of class envy in order to pander for votes.  This approach to political power has been going on since capitalism create a wealthy minority as well as an affluent middle class.  Since liberals really don't like or want risk in their lives, they can only get ahead by acting as intermediaries, taking from those who are risk-takers and have accumulated wealth, and giving to those who, like themselves, avoid risk and seek only  security in their lives.  This state of affairs will never change.  In this article Thomas Sowell tells those who want to know, just how stupid this fairness argument is.
