The rich did extremely well under Clinton, as did most people. With all their write-offs they never pay nearly the tax rate they're supposed to and usually less than working folks. Pull you head out of the sand and quit defending people who don't need help. Be a little more compassionate and put your energy into places where it's needed. Bill Gates doesn't need your charity, believe me.

To be fair the greatest creation of private wealth in modern history took place under mr. bill. I don't think that could be called soaking the rich. Further The action of the market since it appeared bush would get elected suggest most investors and ceo's have very little confidence in moving our economy along. If his policies were so good business would not be afraid to commit funds for capital spending. Rational expectations are at work here and apparently it isn't rational to invest in growth under the current administration.
