this is getting pretty circular...WHICH figures are you questioning? what do you want me to prove?


i am going to bed, i'll check in tomorrow...


for now, here's one of my fav sites, notice that 50% of our population pays 3.1% of the total taxes collected...


SO...50% of us are paying 97% of the taxes...


imagine...half of the people supporting 97% of the government.

Do you not see the relation of wealth being concentrated to the top due to this very fact?

mom, as I noted - "slave wages" is a misnomer, since slaves don't get paid.


You're obviously in error, since you seem to think they do.

And, I agreed with you on the export subsidies and bail outs but that is not the same as welfare.

i am aware that sometimes high income leads to wealth, and sometimes wealth leads to high income, but i am also aware that not all wealthy individuals recieve high annual income...are you aware of that?
