Like it or not, we are now engaged in a great civil class war. The rich are tired of paying taxes. They are the chosen class. Chosen to rule, and chosen to control the purse strings. They are the money makers. The rest are lazy, stupid, untalented, and unappreciative of the handouts trickled down by the rich. After all, if they were otherwise, they would do as their superiors and dedicate their lives to the accumulation of wealth.
Meanwhile, there are those of us who merely see money as a tool and not a birthright. We use it to care for our families, and to provide sustenance while pursuing those things that, to us, make life worthwhile. That should not be confused with unproductive. Our most revered cultural heroes are those who have denied themselves wealth for the benefit of the human condition. Jonas Salk did not patent his polio vaccine and sell it to the highest bidder. He turned it over freely to the entire world, to rid the world of a scourge readily destroying the lives of our children.
