jack, i agree. but i still don't get why so many let the pubs say, "it is unfair that 1% pay 40%" or whatever the real number is.

NO IT ISN'T! THE PEOPLE WHO OWN 40% OF THE STUFF OUGHT TO FOOT AT LEAST 40% OF THE TAX BILL! THAT'S FAIR.

they may have a point arguing they shouldn't pay MORE, but that first 40% is a gimme and REQUIRED for fairness.

the #1 factor for wealth in this country is your parents. period. there are exceptions, sure. but that is the RULE.

the rich always get richer anyway. they don't work for the money as much as it works for them. poor folks don't have money working for them.

the dems just come up empty here. it is pretty sad.

btw, i'm neither republicrat or demican. i'm independent and evaluate each issue. i'm for lower taxes for everyone - but not until we reduce spending.

on this issue, thoug, i'm disgusted by the spin the pubs put on the elite rich windfall tax plan w/ minimal cogent oposition when there is so much material to go after it...
