And just to put MEM's article in perspective

that means that the other half of Americans - not a small group, we are talking half of us combined - earned only 13.81% of all the income in the nation. That is criminal.
Criminal? The fact that half of Americans work harder and/or smarter earn more money is "criminal"? Also lets not forget who's included in that bottom 50% highschool kids working part time jobs, retirees working part time for extra spending money, mentally hadicapped people working at good will even though they get governent support, so they have a purpous. House wives with with very part time work. And of course the unemployed, jobless, fellons on work release. Please, fewer than half the people I've ever run into have the work ethic to make more money than they currently do. On teh other 50% we have entrepenures who are creating jobs for the other 50% Even then if the bottom 50% are only making 13% of the money then why are they only paying 4 % of the taxes. I guess if "moderate independants" (translation = liberals) think that success is criminal, then perhaps it makes sence that they want to lead our government into socialism. I may not be one of the top earners in the country, but I would like to be someday, and if you resent that or think it's criminal well, to quote our dear president "get a job you hobo!"
