Tim, Maybe Barrett didn't "deserve" his wealth. Or maybe Paris Hilton doesn't. Maybe, maybe not. Either way, so what?

An even better question: Why should Jerry Sanders or Hector Ruiz get paid more than Dirk Meyer or Fred Weber?

The tax laws need to be redesigned to insure that more and more of America's resources does not get into the hands of fewer and fewer people. The current tax laws are not doing their job.
