It looks like you've been drinking CNN coolaid. A shrinking middle class does not result in the highest number of homeowners ever! What your socialistic progressive income tax was designed to do is to reward failure and remove incentive for success. You propose to totally remove reward from effort or merit. See how well it worked for the Soviet Union and what world beaters we have coming from the EU. It's a recipe for equalized misery. We were promised life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness... NOT HAPPINESS itself! Why should those who accomplish something give up some of their rewards to those who have sat on the sidelines and done nothing. As a compassionate society, we need to look after those that cannot work... but not the rest. If they are unhappy, it is their own doing. Should we give all the free stuff to the slugs that they want, they still will not be happy. Happiness does not come from possessions, it comes from accomplishment and achievement. -- Larry Miller --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/mixed text/plain (text body -- kept) message/rfc822 --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
