Doesn't affect me but it's totally unfair. Kinda eliminates the incentive to be productive. It'll do more than that, it will push them off shore.. the 1 percenters anyhow.

That would send ripples....more than the wealthy would feel it.

It will just snowball down, and we'll end up paying for it in higher priced goods, services, fuel, utilities, and so on.

Nope, it freaks me out. The cause and effect in the markets could/will be devestating. No economist in their right mind would ever suggest this tact. It has been tried in other parts of the world and accomplished nothing good. Anyone with half a brain knows this will regress to every tax bracket in short order, when the scheme doesn't fulfill the promise.
