Its simply idiotic. If a person has a billion, and then make another billion, who gives a ****ingratsass. They aint gonna buy a bigger house or a bigger car, they are simply gonna invest that money into the economy, it will do much better having the money in the hands of a private citizen than the govt anyday.

Yo man, I've built multiple $20 million plus houses and I've seen up close the kind of over consumption that people with this kind of $$ think they are entitled to as a gift from God. It was a quandry -- I like working with mahogany, and I didn't mind the income, of course, but mahogany rain forests are being clear cut for this ****.
Right now, land use decisions go to the highest bidder most of the time. The Repubs are pushing for that to happen all of the time. Essentially, the guy who wants to rape the land for the maximum short term profit is going to get his way. I'm sorry, money is not God and some pinhead who thinks making a few $mil from gold mining, with the requisite leaving of a scarred landscape, replete with cyanide pond aftermath, polluted rivers, is just fine.... well I want to pound that mo fo.
