Equality Manifesto Janet Kuypers 2/26/19 (the anniversary of the publication date of the Communist Manifesto, February 26th 1848) We have discovered that some people work hard and make a lot of money and some say they cannot find employment that gives them the money they need to take care of their own. So we have discovered that for those who have not, against those who have, we need to make the field clear so all can try, and can achieve just above the level of the have nots. We are not the first to postulate a 70-90% tax on the ones who make far too much money for their own good. Because we are sure that even if we tax them enough to pay for the unemployed, they will still keep making money, hand over fist, so that we can keep everything running on their backs for as long as this great country can live. This money can be used to help the people who can’t make enough in their service industry jobs to pay for an entire family, or even help the ones who say they cannot get a job at all. You see, this tax may seem way too much, as strong as a hatchet, axe and saw* — but this is the only way we can make all equal.   * “The Trees”, Rush
