If you took $2mm from someone making $10mm, he's still got enough to drive a different luxury car to work every day.

Still, it's the same percentage as the rich man, seems fair is fair.

If only it were that easy.

I think that's one of the big problems of this last 30 years, people expect things to be easy. They're not. People need to deal with it.
Anyway, we disagree but we're still friends, right?
