Kevin, real tax rates are much higher for high earners. That is a fact. Obama wants to make them even higher. That is a fact. So either you agree with that philosophy or you don't. Personally I think it is not a fair system and increasing the rates on high earners will result in less productivity. Tinkering at the edges won't hurt the economy, but a major increase, as Obama is proposing, will be a major problem.

>>>But, the ultimate point is: progressive tax rates do not equal socialism.<<< Correct! But on the matter of socialism, Mayberry has endorsed Obama! projects.newsobserver.com But still I'm confused. Maybe one of our prized bonus-type GOPwinger posters could enlighten me: Do GOPwingers actually side with Robin Hood, or do they actually side with the Sheriff of Nottingham?
