However, I am not surprised that things are not going to change any time soon. This country and many others seems to have things backwards. The rich don't need anymore money it is the poor and middle class that need help yet because wealth is power and power is influence the rich just keep getting richer. For example: It is this kind of thinking that rewards sucesss and penalizes failure that has defunded the poorest schools under the No Child Left Behind program. The failing schools are the ones who need it the most. Anyway - thoughtful (if depressing) post. ...Stan I agree that it is not fair how the tax system favors the wealthy.
