Nah...I think its much more conspiratorial.....dead capitalists and communists and dead Republican presidents channeling their thoughts during the polling.

Perhaps Adam Smith channelling from Wealth of Nations - It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion

Or Karl Marx from Das Kapital

Or Teddy Roosevelt from a speech on New Nationalism - that there was a "general right of the community to regulate" the earning of income and use of private property "to whatever degree the public welfare may require it."

Or Ronald Reagan when he signed his major tax reform legislation, including the redistribution of wealth through the expansion of the earned income tax credit.
