The Left is Giddy Over New Marxist Book - The Rush Limbaugh Show

rushlimbaugh.com - RUSH: There's something that I want to spend some time on -- if it takes the next two days discussing with you, and it may. There's a new book out. I became aware of this while I was out, post-op. Some French socialist, Marxist, communist economist has published a book, and the left in this country is having orgasms over it. It's the number one book on Amazon. The guy's name is Thomas Piketty. It is timed coincidentally -- maybe not coincidentally -- you know, the Obama Regime and the Democrats are all on this big kick of income inequality and what to do about it. And this guy's book gives them ammo.

This guy is suggesting an 80% tax rate on incomes over $500,000 a year. Not to raise revenue for the government, but to eliminate those incomes. This guy's objective is to simply wipe out the wealthy. And supposedly everybody is gonna be deliriously happy after this. It is absurd. It's stupid. It's dumb. It's ignorant. It's been tried, and it is being tried in every place in the world you wouldn't want to live. And yet the left in this country and the Democrat Party and the media, they're just chomping at the bit, excited as they can be. And I want to go through some actual factual analysis of incomes in this country and wealth and census data evidence that proves that this is the land of opportunity.
