Have you ever been in a poor family’s house? Somehow, I doubt it.
Okay, so Mitt Romney shouldn’t have to pay higher taxes. He should be able to buy that private plane, yacht, etc. for all the good he’s done for society [sarcasm!] so that poor people can live without TV (one of their only sources of entertainment — and a relatively cheap one, at that), air conditioning (I know precious few poor people with A/C), cell phones (usually their only method of communication), etc.
Can you point to a society with such huge wealth/income disparities — not to mention a tax system that’s set up to accelerate and intensify that disparity — that has ended well?
