Thing is, in some cases the rich are getting a better percentage break than the average working stiff. I'm talking specifically about the private equity guys that get to pay 15% on huge dollar amounts. Last I heard even Warren Buffet says he pays a lower tax rate than his secretary. If we are to continue to have a progressive society I think things have gotten way out of kilter here.. A big part of the problem is the huge gains of those at the very top, but that's another discussion I suppose... Best regards, John
