Had 2 people fall for this already, fellow HNers, my above statement was said in sarcasm. Of course there are people here who are stupid enough to suggest it for real.
You should be aware then that HN is a place for sincere and kind discussion. If you're going to speak sarcasm you must mark it, that's how it goes here. You shouldn't come here calling people stupid because you're not following proper social etiquette. In case you aren't aware, placing a \s at the end of your comment is enough to properly denote sarcasm. Communicating intentions is very important and I think you'd be surprised who might say what you said genuinely. A healthy and kind discussion has no place for denigrating those who take you at your word or for trolling people into "falling for it". This place trusts you to properly communicate your ideas.
If you are the admin/owner of HN I'll buy your argument. I'll even go away. If you are not, bugger off.
Calling out stupidity is important. In your 'kind' world, every idiot will have his say to the detriment of everyone else.
I mean what a surreal and disturbing thread - people calling for the robbing the rich, via taxes. Robbing is what thugs do, not thoughful, 'kind' people.
