Can someone please tell me why the Libs are always screaming about "fairness" for everything, but then turn around and expect unfair taxes on the rich?

That was quite a rant and I have no idea what your point was. Some people have little skills or education. Some people have very tough family situations, e.g. single parent families with little access to affordable childcare. Unemployment is getting scarily high in some states. There are some jobs that are critically necessary to a functioning society that just don't pay very much. If the rich want to stay rich, it is in their interest to make sure the rest of society is doing reasonably well, too.


BTW - I went to college for 10+ years, though I never lived at my parents' home.

Really? It's the rich individual's job to be sure the lower income families are surviving? Interesting, b/c as someone who is certainly NOT wealthy, I don't expect anyone else to pick up my slack.

I believe she means by paying them a salary that tries to keep up with the cost of living and/or inflation.

no knjess... I'm not saying only the rich do it...


I was pointing out that, for example, in the cases of McCain and Kerry that their money and their wives' money and tax returns are kept separate as opposed to most of us working folk who pool everything.

Sorry, had a visual of Uncle Sam hollering at Lady Liberty to bring him the scissors so he could cut up the credit cards ;)


Isn't a lot of our debt caused by forgiving the debts of countries but other countries not so keen on forgiving our debts to them?

Actually it does.....you don't work, you don't pay taxes, yet you get health care, food stamps, and so many other types of assistance.
