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. So you believe (as I do) that the middle class pays a higher tax rate than the rich, so you don't want to raise the taxes on the rich because you think that they will figure a way to avoid them???? Your solution is to throw your hands up and say "It is what it is!!!"?

Is Z a "liberal elitist" or a "liberal elitist" in the making? He'll be living in the biggest nest of liberal elitists on Earth (other than France), and hobnobbing with them constantly.
