I don't think you can make it so unfair that a man living entirely on
dividends will pay zero tax while a cab driver has to work 16 hours a
day to barely feed a family," Munger said. "I just don't think it
works in a democracy."


It's ironic to me that he should pick that particular example as I knew a lot of Cabbies in Santa Barbara and most of them never filed at all. A better fit would have been food service workers.
