I am not going to chase your nonsense. You use obfuscation to argue points you cannot defend. I deduce you do not read the issues I raise to you in my posts Koan. Thats me being kind to you. The other choice would be me not reaching out to be a better man... in other words calling you out as the ignoramus your make yourself out to be. After all.. I have a son in law who is a nuclear physicist plus I have been in politics for over 30 years. Cheers

150 million americans paid ZERO in federal taxes, one man Romney paid 6 MILLION in federal taxes. Is that fair ?

and the very rich spend billions to hire lobbyists to get their tax breaks A natural and reasonably respected response to 1 - The fact that they face higher tax rates. 2 - A complex interventionist tax code. But at the end of all of that they still pay more than the middle class in federal taxes, not just in dollar terms, but also as a percentage of their income.

You are not fighting the good fight, you are defending those who are tearing down this country and making us a plutocracy. We are going back to feudal lords brutally ruling the peasants and serfs. And you don't seem to care or understand. I don't know which. Joam, Think about what you are saying. It doesn't make any sense. Business wants consumers to have money and spend. a vibrant middle class is good for business. Who has the vested interest in keeping a "feudal class"? as you put ot? It is the liberals, who victimize those folks and by creating a dependency create a constant stream of voters (which is why they are soft on illegal immigration.). What is destroying the middle class is the liberalized social welfare system - which functions more as a trap than a safety net. Liberals portend to protect us from the evil corporate interests - who protects us from them? All that is bad in the corporate world is worse by a factor of 100 in the huge / inefficient government. The polarization of society is added and abetted by thse you idolize.
