You are a coveter whether or not you are willing to admit it or not, because you covet what others have.
No, I do not covet what others have. I don't know how much clearer I can be with you on this issue.
Quote:You desire that those who have more than you have less.
I have different opinions of tax policy than you, yes. But that doesn't mean that I covet 'what the rich have.'
Quote:You are a coveter whether or not you want what others have for yourself or for others. You are a coveter whether or not you personally take away what others have or you support candidates for government office who pledge to do that for you. You are a coveter whether or not you personally take away what others have or you support a government that does that for you.
None of this logically follows. If I 'coveted' what the rich have, that would mean I
wanted what they currently have. I don't, not for myself and not for others. I just have a different opinion of tax policy than you - and I would add that my beliefs about tax match our country's actual policies, whereas yours most certainly do not.

God's Tenth Commandment: "Thou shalt not covet ... anything that is thy neighbour’s."
Yes, you are a Goddamn coveter!
You're just looking to call people names, because you have reached a point where your arguments have been exhausted. Nobody agrees with your arguments on taxation in either party; nobody is representing your views nationally. You can call people whatever you like, but it's better to face reality: we have a tiered, redistributive tax system here in America, and taxes on the wealthy ARE going up from their current historical lows.
So, you keep calling people names; and I'll keep watching the tax policies I support continue unabated. And which one of us, do you think, will be happier at the end of the day?
