Mankind is doomed to forever repeat history because of people like them.
The rich must give away their assets so the poor don't attack them?
What does that say for the poor? That we're mad dogs who should be shot?
The rich have just as much right to keep their assets as you and I do Dave, actually more.

The top 1% already pay half of the federal tax. If they leave the country, the USA is bankrupted. The bottom 60% pay 2% of federal tax. If they leave, the country becomes a prosperous paradise.

Wealthy give $25m on average to charity, slobs like us throw in $100 and think we're actually making a "big contribution".

Koch brothers employ 100,000 people McCowen, Rollo, Steel Crysis, Sick Beast, Gstanford - 0.
If a person is looking for a job, who matters more to them? The rich? Or us?
This whole idea "There are rich people, so they should share because no one needs more than $300K a year to live on" is laughable.
Ever try to build a paper products factory with your $300K?
The "revolution" that needs to happen is a shift in subsidy programs.
We sent all of our low skills jobs overseas and left a vast class of welfare recipients. I say they are a vast class of low wage laborers, whose work could not only support them, but also the rest of us. (and by this I mean their paid production labor would create other administrative jobs, not that they would directly support us)
Instead of being a drain on the economy they could be part of it. If they don't like the low wage jobs they could learn better skills like we all did, and there would be more skilled jobs available.
