[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do the middle class and the UMC continue to battle this out when really both should turn their ire to the .1% who really should be made to pay more in taxes?

It's like circuses and bread in the Roman times, I tell you.[/quote]

To stop complaining about our "average MC lifestyle" is to admit that we are privileged, why on earth would any of us UMC folks do that!?!? Don't you understand that I am as stricken with poverty as the minimum wage cashier at Walmart? I can afford nothing after paying $20k a month on expenses, half of which are optional. Have some sympathy for your fellow DCUMers.[/quote]

No one is saying that. And by the way, read the room. No cashier is posting on DCUM.

The point is, the .1% have been the true winners in the Information Revolution and the GOP further protects their gains by cutting taxes to benefit only them.

If the Information Revolution had occurred at a time when the top tax bracket was extended to reflect current reality (that many people do earn more than a million a year and that even beyond that, some earn more than 5 million a year and so on), the benefits would be more evenly spread around in society and there would be much less class warfare.[/quote]
