    Don't be a pre-Madonna. I wouldn't touch that with a 10-foot poll.

    I thought I made perfectly clear that I don't have access to my firefox currently (...though my ass wouldn't have been covered this time). Damn.

    And what is wrong with that? They more than likely don't use the public services that their money pays for anyway.

    Yeah it does. It also allows them to donate billions to charities like Buffet and Gates, or to hire lots of people to work in hotels like the Hiltons, or hire developers to make facebook better like that Zuckerberg dude, or leave better tips for hookers like Charlie Sheen

    Don't you understand that when the rich are doing better everyone else does better too?

    the rich didn't get rich by giving away all their money, trickle down does not work and never has.

    i think that's what the nobles were saying right before the bourgeoisie cut their heads off.

    You prove my point. They needing to have their water carried provides me with a job. Now I get to eat.

    If trickle down economics did not work then a capitalist economy would not work. Money at the top always finds it way down. Rich dudes don't do their own shopping, prepare their own meals, drive their own cars, do their own taxes, or examine their own prostates.

    That said tax cuts targeting any social class are not as beneficial to tax cuts covering the economy as a whole.
