I know what you mean. It's disgusting! Executive compensation is OUT OF CONTROL!!! Congress is having hearings on the flat tax. That's where they redistribute tax burden to the middle class and claim that they're hitting the rich by eliminating loopholes. Watch for the conservative rhetoric on this. On the one hand they'll assert that the rich are paying far more than their fair share and separately they'll assert that the rich aren't paying any taxes because of loopholes [the flat tax fixes that]. Somehow conservatives don't notice that paying more than their fair share and not paying any taxes at all are conflicting thoughts. jttmab
