That's a a really dumb supposed example. I don't blame you for it but whoever thought it up is an idiot who imagines he is a smartass. I make enough money to be in the "upper" brackets and I don't pay anything like my share in comparison with the unfortunate guys trying to support a family lower down the income scale.

Years ago no one making a basic living wage had to pay any taxes. Now with social security, sales taxes, and the lower brackets of income taxes the burden falls quite heavily on moderate income people.

That is the stupidest piece of Reagonomics apology I have read.

See Krugman's piece in last week's NY Sunday Times Magazine.
