Barney Frank on soaking the rich:

“Yes, I believe later on there should be tax increases. Speaking personally, I think there are a lot of very rich people out there whom we can tax at a point down the road and recover some of this money.”

Ill-gotten gain?  Doesn’t matter.  It’s there and Barney wants it.  It’s why Yellow Kid Weil robbed banks: “Because that’s where the money is.”
