We don't care about the 1% or the marginal tax rate.

We want your soul:

This revelation was followed by another, equally momentous: his entire future depended on his ability to cry. Not just his career and his membership in the Worker's Party, his very survival was at stake. It was a matter of life and death. Jun-sang was terrified.

At first he kept his head down so nobody could see his eyes. Then he figured out that if he kept his eyes open long enough, they would burn and tear up. It was like a staring contest. Stare. Cry. Stare. Cry. Eventually it became mechanical. The body took over where the mind left off and suddenly he was really crying. He felt himself falling to his knees, rocking back and forth, sobbing just like everyone else. Nobody would be the wiser.

So strange how the Left simply dismisses the excesses of the Left, in a are-you-a-loony-that-could-never-happen-here sense.  They look at you like you're some sort of, well, loony when you ask them where their class warfare and 99%-vs-1% ends up.

They think they're smarter than you or me.  They're possibly not entirely ignorant, and so may have actually have run across C.S. Lewis' dictum that you and I have heard so many times:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

If, by luck, they've actually heard this before, they will stare at you with the same cow-eyes. What-are-you-a-loony-that-could-never-happen-here. And anyway, the solution to this would be more Government.

The totalitarian impulse asks but little of you.  It only wants your soul.

No blindness as with him who will not see.  The non-canonical and possibly heretical Gospel of Thomas wrote of this two millennia  ago: The Kingdom of the Father is spread upon the Earth, and men do not see it.

See it, lefties.
