[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there is class warfare against the rich and ultimately it is going to stifle productivity.  If you are constantly vilified for your success and there is a constant cry for your wealth to be redistributed, what is the incentive to succeed--so that someone who chose differently can reap the fruits of your labor?[/quote]

CEOs and hedge fund/wall street types who make millions a year are frequently paid through stock and so only pay 15% in taxes, much lower than someone who currently makes a whole lot less.  Many of those same folks are the ones who caused the recent finacial woes through back room deals and insider trading.  Until we clean up our finanacial industry and stop allowing their own to regulate them [they come from Wall Street and go back to Wall Street after their appointment ends] the rest of us will lose out.  I do not begrudge anyone their money, as long as it is made legally and legitimately.[/quote]

It is legal. You want to make it illegal. It is jealousy. You are poor and they are rich and you and Obama can't have that. How dare they. [/quote]

Lots of things are or have been legal.  Slavery was legal.  Abortion is legal.   Do you really think we have a perfect system that should never be changed even if something is really unfair or even immoral?  Come on!  Are you just pulling our leg or do you really believe that what you said above is a sensible argument?

And what about you?  I bet you are not in the 15% bracket.  Why do you think only you should pay your fair share, and the ultra-rich should not?  Do you think the ultra-rich are better than you?[/quote]

Wow, the new America where working hard is akin to slavery or abortion. [/quote]
