It's the only thing that has ever proven to work. >In fact, if anything, it only serves >to create an even larger disparity between the very wealthy >and the working class...as has been proven over the years. And that increased disparity is an indication of a productive economy. It's the wealthy who suffer at the margins - their income rises more in times of prosperity, and declines more, in times of want. We have the least disparity in times of hardship. And the poor, as always, suffer the most. When things get better, the poor do better, but the rich do better yet. And those who are driven by envy and spite, instead of by any rational sense of how the world works, complain bitterly. -- I don't believe in conspiracy theories - I have too much faith in human stupidity.
