>> Economic equity.........a better dispersal of the economic pie than we have right now.

And just how in Hell do you think you're going to do that?

By taxing the wealthy in this country at the rates that existed before Reagan took office. While there were inequities before Reagan, he is the jackass who started us down this terrible road that has led to the current economic mess and the worst imbalance between the rich and the rest of us. The idiot sold America off to the highest bidders. And Americans in their abject stupidity call him a hero.........a great president. It would be laughable if it weren't so pathetic.

Insist that we ALL become losers?

Dave, you are hardly a winner because you vote for the GOP. In fact, you are the biggest loser because you believe the bs they've fed you.

That was my point, which you obviously missed. You cannot make winners become losers. And you can't make everyone become a winner. So, WTF is it they are demanding?

Very few of the rich are winners......most either inherited their wealth or cheated their way to the top. The few who do manage to get to the top through their own efforts without deceit perpetuate this silly myth that in America you can get rich through hard work and preserverance. Read my lips.......its a myth. Through hard labor, you may be able to get to the middle class or even the upper middle class but its not likely you will ever become weatlhy.

What a bunch of idiots.

"100 years ago John D. Rockefeller could have written a check to repay the national debt. Today, you could confiscate ALL the wealth of the richest man in America and pay the interest on the national debt for less than two months" (Geo. Will).

And you can thank yourself for that dilemma.
