<font color=red>flapjack, the " richest 5% are ...hard workers that are paying your paycheck..... You...wouldn't even be employed without them moron.. The founders AND CEOs of MSFT SUNW ORCL HWP Ford YAHOO EBay CSCO GE AOL QCOM NTAP HD OD STAPLES Costco to name a few.. on and on and on... If these people make $10,000,000 and pay 10% of that in taxes that equals $1,000,000. 10% of your $50,000 income is $5,000. These people are paying $1,000,000 to your $5,000 they are CONTRIBUTING TO society 200 times what you do. Isn't that enough? Aren't they better than you? Why don't you just -stop being envious and bitter -get a paying job and get off the welfare rolls and do something useful with your life -stop wanting to suck from that big nipple in the sky TA PS And when you go to church on Sunday...don't forget the 10 Commandaments: " Thou shalt not be Envious of Thy Neighbours' goods " ========================== Message #59716 from flapjack at Nov 5, 2000 3:28 PM Major: Would you be in favor of cutting the big tax break for the wealthiest of the wealthy by, say, a scant 5 or 10 percent, and then use that money to upgrade our VA hospitals and hospitals that serve inner-city residents?

Only after the funding for National Endowment of the Arts, and other useless pork was cut, and it was shown that a deficit in VA funding still existed. And not only for the inner city. Veteran's live everywhere. The inner city needs to show that they can control their crime and live like humans rather than animals so that folks will feel safe enough to reestablish in areas of blight where the VA facilities are usually located.knc
