You have never articulated any logic making a case that simply taxing the wealthy somehow creates more wealth, or more wealthy people.

You are making an underpants gnome argument.

You were actually on to something for a minute when you were talking about the divisions of labor and change creating opportunities to accumulate wealth. But somehow managed to abandon that budding line of thought and retreat to a punitive "if you have money, you must be punished" line.. while simultaneously arguing that doing so, will somehow help the rest of us.
