and, if like warren buffet, you make $100,000 in your first day, you
gotta take rest of yr off.
this way, rich people will 'steal' less of our wealth, we'll be
richer--as the wealth will not be stolen from us by the rich--, and it
will be great for the economy. ya think?

of course, government wants you to work all year round. it allows you
to keep certain amount of your earnings and take what you make for the
rest of the year. so, most people are working 6 months for yourself

How about, those of us who make more than $100k a year (which
is NOTHING these days) just get a free pass to SHOOT all you
fucking losers who can't keep up?

What is your evidence for that?

The evidence in fact suggests that the tax burden has shifted

home w/attached garage in the suburbs, w/at least one car (and often
2) in the driveway, and a kid in college.
