    Like the hot dog and snow cone stands, independent cabbies, neighborhood stores, house washing businesses, etc . . . lots of small businesses just getting by.

    It proves your statement wrong, however you want to spin it.

    Because, to a liberal, wealth is finite thing with only so much to go around. If the rich are allowed to keep more of the money they stole (remember to liberals the rich make all their money exploiting the poor) the finite amount of wealth will continue to be horded by the wealthy.

    You mean to a communist? Sane liberals don't believe this. This is straight from Das Kapital.

    Baseball players make CEO type money I wonder if liberals are angry that jeter is taking money away from the poor Bronx Dominicans that sit in the bleachers at Yankee stadium paying his salary. Because I know those Dominican and they voluntarily and happily give their money to the captain.

    It just isn't right that jeter makes a million times the average salary of a weekend beer league guy. He hates the poor
