Tim; The money still flows from the wealthy to the government, not the other way around. Oh the naiviety. Any very rich person that can't find massive tax holes to prevent taxes needs to fire his tax man. There are also huge financial incentives for all kinds of gimmicks that assure if you play the game right - your taxes will be minimal. One of the most egregious is that trading and speculating - those that largely sent us into a whirlwind of this financial morass, were paying taxes on their income at capital gains prices. Does anyone resent Buffets gains? I think most of us admire him - I sure do. Since he is one of the richest, how can one admire that which you think is class warfare? I think you are looking for hate where there is none. steve
