>As up to date as you are on the news, I thought you might have heard of the $800 billion giveaway to the rich that passed this week. Which is not expected to even goose the economy. Something about the estate tax in there also, I heard. Must be liberal media spin.

>Mike, you are completely off base. It is NOT a giveaway....it is all about people being permitted to keep what they earned. The rich and successful have just as much right to the fruits of their labor and intelligence and capabilities as anyone else. Simple as that.

I think maybe the word 'earn' should be defined in this context. I read somewhere that the average CEO's salary was 250 times that of the average worker. Do you believe that the average CEO really 'earns' 250 times the salary of the average worker?
