Ian White: Another suck-up who chants the government line and always has.
Ritz and White must have the same speech writer...they are like two parrots.

Not so sure it wouldn't work. the benefits of having enough income to have a decent living are underrated.
I'm somewhat familiar with Swizerland, where their citizens are almost guaranteed a decent income. It generally means if you don't heve a job, you get one, it could mean sweeping streets with a broom, but you still get paid $25-30,000 a year. I shudder at OAS at max of $9600 a year in this country(not sure of #), but someone may have worked here all their life and only have OAS to live on, and it is taxable. Meanwhile if your uberrich, you pay less tax. I do believe that a rising tide raises all boats and that Bill Gates or someone with net worth of $126 billion didn't pay enough tax.
And yeah, it is almost impossible to become a Swiss citizen unless born into it, which I agree with.

If there is anyone more predictable than Ritz and White, its wilagro!

One thing you forgot to mention about bill gates etc. is that he gives billions away to charity ( literally )

[Horse]

Bill Gates gives billions away, What does the tax system give him back in credits, not sure about US tax structure but I will Gurante for every $ he gives he gets a substantal return.
What is it here $100 gave to political party gets you $75 credits. NGOs? 80%?
Give anyone billions and they will give millions.
