Barney Frank: Deficit fear has to take a second seat

If you're thinking "I'm not rich, why should I care what greedy rich people pay in taxes?", you're missing the big picture. Isn't the American dream partly to succeed? What incentive does taxing the successful give those who are working hard (to make more money) to keep doing so?

I've come across liberals who say that Capitalism is all about greed. Let me give you a thought about Socialism. Let's acknowledge for the sake of argument that Capitalism is about greed, about making lots of money for yourself. The flip side (Socialism) is about greed also, but it's about getting money that you didn't make. It's about greed for not being self-sufficient, unlike Capitalism.
