i understand that jag - there is no question about the wealth status of those individuals. i wasn't really even going that large scale. this is in my mind because i was speaking with someone who stated in no uncertain terms that anyone who makes more than $200k in a year is "wealthy" and should pay 50% in taxes so that the "little guy" doesn't. personally, i think that is bullshit. both guys work equally as hard for what they have, why should the one who makes more have to give up a higher percentage of pay. that is the definition of unfair. it smells of wealth redistribution to me.
