Yes indeed. I remember when the Democrats decided to tax the rich who were buying yachts. "We'll get those rich yacht owners and teach them!" So what happened? The rich just stopped buying yachts. And the middle class workers who were manufacturing the yachts all got laid off. Several of them went to Washington, DC and they actually (I know it's a miracle) got them to repeal that tax increase.

The liberals/collectivist statists live in a fantasy world where they think they can make everyone more equal by stealing from some to give to others. But it just doesn't work.
