That isn't what I meant. It's just that whenever I see an ultra-wealthy person complain that his taxes aren't high enough, it sounds a lot like he's saying he'd love to spread the wealth but darn, he just can't convince the government to raise his taxes. If only there were other means available to him...
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
