The following is a quote from http://community.livejournal.com/talk_politics :
( Unless my calculations are wrong, if we doubled the tax burden on these folks, the total funds removed from the investment pool would be $407 billion. That would represent nearly a .3% reduction in available capital. Not 3%. .3%. )

I appreciate such well-developed sarcasm.

Rand Paul: Well, the thing is, we’re all interconnected. There are no rich, there are no middle class, there are no poor, we all are interconnected in the economy…We all either work for rich people or we sell stuff to rich people, so just punishing rich people is as bad for the economy as punishing anyone…

There are no rich, but we all have rich clients? What now? The man, he contradicts himself there.
