>The pie can grow to infinite largeness, but the slices for the rich are growing even faster than the pie, while the slices for the middle class and the poor are actually shrinking! Actually, the most important part is also the one that is consistently overlooked... Having so much pie makes the rich much more able to take even more of the pie as it new parts of it are baked, and the poor and middle class are so undernourished that they can't get more, and even have a hard time hanging on to the slice of the pie they have. In other words, "It takes money to make money." -Z

Maybe this analogy is one the righties can understand: The pie can grow to infinite largeness, but the slices for the rich are growing even faster than the pie, while the slices for the middle class and the poor are actually shrinking! The righties seem to think the slices always remain constant, and that all boats are rising with the pie. Not true.. I don't think they care. I am starting to think they believe the rich are special people who should get whatever they want.......much like some poor people treated royalty in a monarchial form of gov't. In that vein, I bet they are upset with the jail sentence handed down to Paris "that's hot" Hilton. How else to you explain their argument that the rich should pay as little taxes as possible?
