Reply #10: IMO society advances on the shoulders of brilliant, creative scientists and engineers. [View All]

As I see it, the question is how much do we tax those brilliant, creative scientists and engineers before we stifle them?

Behind the scenes are a handful of wealthy families that control the world's finances and they have gamed the system so their fortunes are already protected in other countries. They don't pay taxes except in a condescending way.

I really don't care how much we tax entertainers, athletes, wealthy ner-do-wells, and others of their ilk because they produce little of lasting social value.
