The Importance of Being Egalitarian

Some people would say if you're a really egalitarian you shouldn't wait to be taxed. I think there are two reasonable answers that a person who doesn't give too much of it away can give and one of them has to do with the burden of depressing yourself below the level of your peer group. A person who has tasted wealth will suffer more typically from lack of it than someone who's had quote unquote the good fortune never to be wealthy, he says.
