It's only a tax on the stupid if you don't know what a tax is. Taxes are imposed.

There's a fatal flaw in your analysis: It is the oligarchy who are meddling with government, creating a corporatist state, lobbying for legislation to increase their advantage and funnelling public tax dollars into corporate coffers. Not at all like Rand's statist government.

Oh, and by the way, fuck Ayn Rand

amidst all this chatter about economics and models that what we're really talking about here is gambling. The wealthy made bets on red and black and then they bought insurance on their bets and the bets of others. Ultimately, they gambled that the Casino (America) and it's croupiers (AIG, Morgan Stanley, Citi, etc.) had assets sufficient to pay off the bets. They were wrong and they lost but refuse to hand over their chips. The real problem is that we don't have a couple of guys with baseball bats to do the collections.
