Imagine, just imagine, the kind of society we had if we were willing to tax the wealthy at the levels needed to provide the services we need.

But we don't. Instead of taxing people, we've decided it's better to just let them hoard cash like Scrooge McDuck because*..mumble..Art Laffer..mumble..supply side..cough..trickle-down..mumble..mumble* instead of either forcing them to invest it into something productive and/or taxing it if they don't.
