WELL, unless the liberal elites are also rich, they want to tax other. Do you comprehend simple logic?

JF, > The "liberal elites" want to raise taxes on the rich. What does that have to do with taxing "others"? The liberal elitists are the ones telling the common working citizen that taxes have to be raised on the "rich." They qualify their opinions by saying that they themselves are rich, therefore they are the ones who would be hurt the most. Except that they won't. Jim brought up just one of many examples how the rich avoid paying taxes, i.e. tax-sheltered investments such as munis. Real estate is another example. The people that get squeezed the most from raising taxes are the ones in the middle, i.e. the most upwardly-mobile class. Tenchusatsu
