Excellent post. I was trying (in vein) to make some of those points to the moron poor0turkey the other day.

Does this mean that you think it is ok that the wealthiest pay say (just a hypothetical here), 10% of their income while the lower middle class pay 40% in some cases? I think that is the issue... I don't think there is any question about this post, I know the richest pay the most taxes, sure (although this may see a statistical abberation soon with all the IPO paper millionaires we've generated in the last year... they don't pay as much Forbes,Buffett etc). I'm not sure how I feel on this matter so just a question from me... BTW, I would have fewer real problems with the current system of wealthy paying less % if the schools and educational system were better for all people... since I know we all get the same "services"... if those services were absolutely top notch we'd have a different story from my perspective...
