SoakTheRich.us started as a series of pie charts and turned into something much bigger. Here's why!
Promising the moon and hoping no one will ask, "hey, what's a moon cost these days, anyway?" turns out to be the one business model
Progressives endorse. If you're an Obama bundler, a union boss, or Ezra Klein, it's great news -- you can get rich selling snake oil, riding a
limo to Occupy Wall Street rallies, or trying to make intensely stupid things sound smart. If you're a productive human being, the results are
less sunny: national debt now exceeds GDP and has piled up to roughly $50,000 per American.
That's where Soak The Rich comes in. Corporations and CEOs have tons of money, and the U.S. has tons of debt, so the math should work out: Tons - Tons = No worries! Using Soak The Rich, you can track the impact of doubling corporate income taxes and taking CEO pay from S&P 500 companies simply by clicking industries in a list. There's even a "Soak All Industries" button for the benefit of MSNBC employees! When you're done, you can see detailed results and brag
about your good deed on Twitter.
Hear a friend or relative parroting the "fair share" meme? Share Soak The Rich and then ask if they have any better ideas!

Mr Obama stated on Twitter over the weekend, "not a red state, not a blue, only an Obama state". Well this Corporation may end up being a "under the table state". The "fair share" well is dry.
