Hey Evan,

Precisely. Because they have the bucks to take care of their needs and that's not a sin AFAIAC. That's just the way it is in a free society. OTOH, there has to be a better way to protect the poor that doesn't involve taxing the wealthy to death just because they seem to be good at what they do.

>>My question is...what makes it right to abuse and excoriate the wealthy simply because they are so? A free society is an equal society.

>Are we meeting the needs of the world's rich? Give me a break.

No. The rich meet their own needs. It's everyone else who seems to think they've earned a ride on the coattails.
