Isn't Perot the one who said, "That giant sucking sound you hear is NAFTA sucking jobs away from America into Mexico"?

Spare us the story of woe for the wealthy. Even with a nasty old progressive tax system the rich are getting richer here.

The boy has been devastated by TL's stats/facts/reality so he throws up a straw man.
Can a JG accusation of racism be far behind ?

For all of the crying and moaning about "spreading the wealth", it has become more and more concentrated in smaller segments of the population over the last 20-30 years. This is fact, and it is indisputable.

I believe you fall into that category so please hand out $10,000 to each non-working and under employed member of this board. That includes retired and students.

Have you read the posts about his wife's spending? The wealth ain't concentrating at his place.

His personal spending habits aren't my concern but the wealth reallocation based on his income is.

Wealthy people are going to stay wealthy because they can hire some pretty smart people to help them protect and expand their wealth.
Is it not possible that the "spreading the wealth" policies are the cause of wealth being concentrated in smaller segments of the population because they're destroying the middle class? The middle class being defined as the people who have enough money to fund the "spreading the wealth" policies, but who can't afford to hire those same smart people to avoid the policies.
