One thing the left just never has figured out - our current tax system (progressive on income) PRESERVES the class stucture. If you HAVE wealth (not MAKE money, but HAVE wealth), you pay nothing. If you try to gain wealth by being productive through income, the govt will make it harder and harder for you to escape your current class by taxing you at greater and greater rates.
The ultra rich LOVE our current tax system. We tax the productive, NOT the rich......

Or not even the high wage earners. As Warren Buffet said, the secretaries probably pay more taxes than the CEOs of most corporations. . .
You know as well as I do that the rich get off. Hell, I go to court with them about it all the time (my job = nailing Enron type peeps). It's what they do. . .
Ah, whatever.
I just want to beat Penn State. . .
