Very interesting essay. Not exactly a newsflash, though.
I thought it was interesting, too. What I like best about it is that it cuts off the legs for support of tax cuts for the wealthy.
Those who have been bamboozled by conservatives choose to support tax cuts for the wealthy because they expect those tax cuts to affect them someday. Truth is, no matter how hard Joe Schmoe works he will never attain that kind of wealth. Joe is supporting an unrealistic ideal, just like the folks in "What's the Matter with Kansas?" are.
Yea. Still can't figure out why that position has legs, though. Since there are more of us than them, seems like we ought to be taxing them, eh?
Never have so few taken so much from so many. Lift yourself up by your bootstraps!
