Playing the Class Warfare Card

[_asbestosman]

The Rich are winning.

Good for the rich. I don't begrudge them their success . . .
. . . unless it was because they have an unfair government-given advantage.

I'm fine with the rich having more the percentage of wealth so long as:
1) Our government receives enough tax revenue to pay for our core programs (it doesn't).
2) The rich don't enjoy special government privileges unavailable to the rest of us (they do).

That the rich increase their income much faster than I do doesn't diminish my quality of life. What diminishes my quality of life is having a government with debt up to Kolob but a refuses to tax people who already enjoy government-given privileges I never will. They even refuse to let the Bush tax cuts expire at a time when we're having debt problems. Unbelievable. If I thought the rich were using the extra money to give us jobs and move the economy forward, that'd be one thing but I don't.

There was a happier time in this country when street corners were filled with the aged and war wounded begging for money.

They should return to that sort of entrepreneurial independence and stop taking tax dollars from the beleaguered upper classes.

We're still living the dream down here in Florida.

I'm glad to hear that self reliance is still alive in this country.

Which bracket do General Authorities and Apostles fall into?

I'd bet on them all being top 10-15%.
