You're mixing up two different parts of my post here. I never said we should tax rich people to make sure they're not extravagant. Personally, I wouldn't complain if I made $100,000 a year and paid half of it in income taxes. I could live quite easily on $700 a month if it wasn't for this damn car note.

Moreover, should we ban anything but the cheapest of goods - ban all designer labels and the like - and all wear uniforms and who gets to make the decision as to what stays and what goes. Should we also never buy any relative luxury items for ourselves; never splurge one day of something completely frivilous for any reason even if it is a concert ticket  Anyway, I think you get my drift.

I never said anything about banning anything. Drama queen.

I thought you were saying all rich people are like that and was noting that that gross generalization is unfair and unsupported by the data out there.

I never said all rich people are like that. The people I've heard say that aren't even rich.
