Default Re: Great New Yorker article on \"Tax cuts pay for themselves\"

That's because they receive a massively disproportionate percentage of the income.

You see this is where the disconnect is. They do not "receive" they EARN. Receive has a connotation of a gift. And nothing in this world is free. ...well other than the handouts you would like to provide whit your thievery.

Opposing tax cuts for the mega rich is hardly advocating "a welfare state" or "revenge". I "rant and rave" because I don't like it when people mischaracterize Bush's tax cuts.

Funny ... I get angry at mischaracterization also.

how "mega rich " someone is is none of your business. Nor does it influence "fairness" in any way. Simply because I can afford to pay twice as much for goods and services as my neighbors is irrelevant to the issue of fair pricing.

At the end of the day the only thing "wrong" with the Bush tax cuts is that they were not nearly deep enough, and were not coupled with radically deep spending cuts also.
