Dale,
I'm not in favor of taxing the shit out of the rich but I do unapologetically favor a progressive tax system. We have some profound problems in our country (lack of health coverage being #1 for me) that require a lot of money to fix. The national debt is a pretty damn close #2. I am not one to throw money at every problem in hopes that it will be remedied but I have no problem having the affluent pay more, and sometimes a lot more, to bring relief to a person who needs medical coverage. I know Pat will call me a socialist or worse, but frankly I don't care.
Peter T.
