Citizen Gates Pardon me for popping in, but you are waving a red flag in all our faces. RE: "Do you believe, as I asserted that liberals do, that the successful must have taken their money from others and must therefore have some of their gains taken to give back? Do you believe that "the rich" should pay disproportionally more in taxes than the poor?" Gerald Walls Duhhh... Of course! The successful employ more of the public's common resources than others. And that's completely OK. We actually encourage it. The general idea is to actively get these resources into the hands of the most productive for the common good. It helps create wealth rather than take wealth away from the rest of us. What has this got to do with what Microsoft did under Gates? This is supposed to be a free country. The rest of us do not exist as Microsoft serfs. Lets keep the playing field level. This is not a philosophical thing. We are talking borderline criminal activity here. After all, what kind of country do you want to live in? I kind of like free enterprise capitalism, but it just won't work with out a framework of rules to keep it honest. This is America my fellow investors. Love it or leave it. Hal PS: Sorry to sound so pompous. Nothing personal. But, let's get back to Microsoft's prospects in the real world.
