Interestingly enough Sommer makes his argument that money does not equal personal value but wants to redistribute the money anyway. This is kind of a silly argument isn't it?
The sad truth is that equality does not, has not, nor will ever exist anywhere. We are only familiar with our own society but racism, discrimination, ethnic cleansing, poverty, starvation, etc are a worldwide issue and always have been and always will. Human nature dictates. Humans are weak and humans are strong. Humans are smart and humans are dumb. Humans are not made equally. The problems is not that the rich are prospering, it is that the poor are failing. Lashing out at one group wont help another. It is a simplistic argument that is so foolish I cant believe that someone with a 150 IQ would attempt to make it. Taxing individuals to extreme means demeans accomplishment and achievement. And for those who are born rich, why discriminate against them without reason? Because of where they were born? How is that any different than discriminating against a persons skin color? To discriminate against any person for an event totally out of their control is crazy.
Also I would think that a person with a 150 IQ would realize the folly of giving our government billions of dollars and expecting any REAL help for the poor.
