re: She isn't "maxing out on America's resources." She is inheriting and using her family's resources. Those resources don't belong to America as a whole. They are not mine, they are not yours, and they don't belong to the US government. So she should be taxed at a lesser rate than Joe six pack? John

Why all of us should object is because why should Paris Hilton get to max out on America's resources because she was born into the right family? She isn't "maxing out on America's resources." She is inheriting and using her family's resources. Those resources don't belong to America as a whole. They are not mine, they are not yours, and they don't belong to the US government. Yes, and too many of those resources are getting into the hands of the rich at the expense of the poor. The laws need to be changed so that millions and billions don't get passed down from one generation to the next automatically. That only allows the rich to buy up more of America's resources. Paris Hilton is not entitled to be a millionaire many times over just because she was born into the right family.
