Yes Zig, neither of you believe in a progressive tax system, and that's(the progressive tax system) the only thing keeping this country from being a total sh-i-thole. You think it's cool to have such a difference between the rich and the middle class. It isn't. Any further separation between the 2 is gunna be very ugly. You don't get that. Never have, and never will. I know that going in(for both of you.) So, on economic stuff I never pay much attention to you two. To me, neither of you will ever comprehend the weaknesses inherent in any free market system. They aren't nearly as much about hard work(which is what you both think they are about) as they are about who has control of the results from hard work. They are flawed systems, and you both seem to think those flaws will work themselves out on their own. They don't. All these things you see done (and you think are unfair to the rich you adore) are just attempts to correct the natural flaws in this economic system. It's a juggling act. If you ignore those flaws, you will have just rich n' poor. If you restrain the system too much, then you'll get poor overall production. The answer, however is not to just do nothing(and allow a flawed system to result in just 2 types of economic classes.) You bother encourage that, and it's ill.
