Spence, no one denies that the wealthy are, by definition, wealthy because they have more money than people who are not wealthy. So don't pat yourself on the back for what you thought was a GOTCHA! comment.

The fact is, 1% of the population provides 38% of the federal income tax revenue. So, just how much of Bill Gates; money do you feel entitled to? How much of Bill Gates' money should cops get to confiscate, so that they can retire at age 42? Can you answer that?
