Skeeter, They (Rockefeller Right) have this notion that IF you are NOT wealthy or well off -- then you must be a lazy shit you simply sucks money out of the system. These are the same folks who slam single mothers for taking time way from their kids to work ALL day. Then if you say what I just said OUT LOUD -- then your bitter and angry (sour grapes.) Fact is -- a great many of the wealthy in this country did shit their entire lives -- and worked far, far less then you and I (if at all.) I see/witness it every single day on a very close/immedaite scale. That is why they should tax HUGE inheritances (over $10 million), which would result in (over an extended period) -- these psycho-disproportionately/concentrated money channelling itself back into the economy more equitably. With a philosophy based on hard work and effort -- not on awaking one morning to money your grandfather or parents earned decades ago. Fact is -- if you cut government down to the most basic/essential levels -- we would still have to overtax the rich. Simply because you come to play a baseball game and there are nine positions -- but one or two players own 7 of the 9 required gloves -- well then you are forced to either have to ask them to share or mandate that they do so. -JH

Yeah! the economy is tanking. Whatever will the rich do without us poor folks picking up the tax tab for them which we cannot do if we don't have no work. I mean REALLY, what ARE they thinking?
