chunga....... ...tents cities? do you really think that is gonna happen...

Uh, wake up and smell the toast burning.....


however i do believe in fairness....and i don't think the super rich need a tax cut,

Good.

but it would be fair. these people pay a lot of $$$ in taxes, don't they

If you listened to Warren Buffet, and apparently you haven't, with the way the tax structure is now, he and his fellow billionaires pay less of a percentage of their income in taxes than the middle class.

He put out a challenge for fellow billionaires to see if any of them pay more percentage-of-income-wise than the middle class. Couldn't find any yet.....

i don't know how many rich people will by a computer that's made in china...how many rich people will buy a detroit car or build a new house?

You missed my entire point. If you didn't get it when I spent the entire post trying to show you, it's useless to try again.

one thing i learned a long time ago that stuck with me woof....don't grudge people their money....

Well, you learned wrong. Like I mentioned before, I grew up rich, and I never felt comfortable because my father gained his wealth by taking advantage of his employees. I felt sorry for his workers, even understanding their plight when I was only a kid. That's not to say that I begrudge everyone their wealth, but to my way of thinking, one gives back to the community when one can. You and I have a different idea about the way the world should be. I take it you'd be a fine plantation owner when slaves existed.
