Lets Tax The Shit out of the Rich.

This entire argument could be, and would be a non-starter had this administration simply brought a few indictments against the financial gangsters. I think that most everyone can see taxing the crap out of wealthy people isn't going to make much of a dent in the debt. I think most people understand the difference between percentages and actual amount paid, and that 15% of millions is a hell of alot of money. What people can't swallow is that those that so blatantly brought down our economy can just walk away without any consequence.
A few heads on the chopping block might not put any money back in our pockets, might not really do much of anything to fix the system, but there is a need to see some justice done out there which must be satisfied, and until it is we won't move forward. The guilty must be punished. Those that were guilty of taking on debt they couldn't afford have been punished, along with millions of bystanders who did nothing wrong at all. The victims, innocent or otherwise, have paid the price. The perp's have not.

I usually use the word "effective" (I'd really like to use "efficacious", but, well you can the problem there) instead of "efficient", because I want to emphasize the importance of product, over the inputs. The definition of efficiency does include "desired results", but in common usage seems to emphasize the input side.

And it's +15 Trillion, you know the amount of the US national debt that you claim has no negative effect on us. Although I guess that is true for you though. Since you pay no US federal income tax.
