OK, let’s talk about bottom lines here. Who are you to say who deserves what money? The beauty of America and capitalism is that if you have a dream, you can follow it and earn a living. You lump all “Super rich” in the same boat as ghastly as a racist lumps an entire race into one fate. There are plenty of single moms that ignore their kids, shirk their responsibilities and live off of the money that I put into the system. So do not sit there and imply that a prerequisite scandalous behavior is to be super rich. Yes there are unscrupulous rich people, as there are in any tax bracket. But the bigger point is that just because someone put their resources to the test and made something of their lives should not mean that they should be raked over the coals by Mr. Reality. I honor those single moms working two jobs…why don’t we pay her more in welfare and less to the crack whores that spit out babies just to get more food stamps. You speak of morality, but that is what is void in today’s society. If you are really looking for a way to “fix” our economy…try praying to the God that our founding fathers prayed to.
