On a more serious note, I think it was Warren Buffet, in explaining why the US system of progressive taxation is best for the country, who said (paraphrasing) that the wealthy like himself who benefited from the system that provides for the common good have a moral obligation to sustain it and support it so others have the opportunity to do the same (not to get even richer at the expense of the worker poor and middle class)

Or maybe it was Jimmy Buffet or Warren G Harding.

But in any case, I hope you stick around!
