Srexley, you better read the Warren Buffett editorial that I posted again. Better yet, have some one read it to you that can explain it. If you think that you should pay a higher percentage of your income in taxes than the very wealthy, good for you. Their vast wealth does need protecting and it's generous people like you that are willing to pay more than your fair share that warm their hearts. As for me, I'm more than willing to pay a higher percentage than do those who make less than I do, but I'm not too happy about paying a higher percentage (much higher) than those that earn a lot more than I do. Of course we could all turn earned income into dividend and capital gains income couldn't we. Oops, I guess that's only possible for those who don't need to work. Nice touch of anger in the labeling of me as a "greedy, bloodsucking, condescending, unappreciative creaton." By the way, greedy bloodsuckers like me usually spell it, "cretin." The point is that you can't HANDLE THE TRUTH, if it's different from what your GAWB told you. If Bush told you that dog droppings were chocolate, your mouth would water every time you walked past a kennel.
