What I found particularily interesting about this chapter was the passage talking about the governments distribution to wealth.  The taking a dollar from Steve Jobs analogy put it in perfect perspective.  We see that it would make more sense to take money from the wealthier because they have a lot more to offer, but that is just it, they have more to offer not only dollar wise.  They have a lot more to offer in recources as well, so what Steve Jobs could have done with that dollar essentially could have been more beneficial in the long run verses what the  poor person recieving that dollar could have gained.  Yes it sounds obserd to tax every single person in the United States the same way, and it is in fact obserd and potentially impossible but what I have never understood is why this came to be.  Why does more have to be taken from the upper class then the lower class?  Yes they have more wealth but they have also worked for that wealth in most cases, it has not just been handed to them.  So my question is, why can it just be handed to others?  When my dad went into the NFL, all of his siblings still back in Sunnyside,Texas quit their jobs because they knew that my dad would provide for them when they needed help.  And I understand that some people truly cannot get jobs, they have tried but things just are not working out in their favor, but there are also those people, like my Aunt's and Uncle's who can, but don't because they know they will be recieving at least something.
