My biggest problem, however, is not whether we are too capitalist or too socialist. Instead, it's the whole attitude of "soaking the rich," because they seem to be an all-too-convenient target. It's a tempting philosophy to push as a politician, because you can get the most money while costing yourself the least amoung of votes, and you can portray anyone who disagrees as arrogant as Marie Antoinette. (Ted is fond of that.) Meanwhile, the extra money feeds the bureaucratic beast that continues to cripple all aspects of federal government. This includes the CIA and FBI who, among other things, missed the 9/11 clues. I would be opposed to "soaking the rich" if they were any where close to hurting; however, that's not the case at all. What's most intriguing to me is why you defend them so admirably since the probability of you and any of us reaching that level of wealth is not too great. ted
