........The shooter is being thought of as a Robin Hood figure. That is wrong, but his glorification "POINTS OUT" that the average US citizen has lost money and power after the tax changes around 1970
..........The US would be much stronger and more stable IF SOMEHOW it could go back to the tax levels of the 50s and 60s. When, not coincidentally, America really was GREAT.

Interesting opinion.
So, the top 10% of earners paying 77% of all income tax and the top 53% paying 100% of that tax isn't "fair enough". I suppose handing out social service $$$ that would require an uneducated single mother of 2 to hold a job that pays $78,000/year to break even is fair?
Just giving the opposing viewpoint
