Hey guys,
Came across this article and found it to be Breakfast Club worthy. Plus I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I'd keep the lifeline going on this blog.
The reason I posted this was simply for the shock value it gave me. I find all of this to be completely absurd. Millionaires today complain about Obama's bleeding heart policies to tax the rich and give to the poor, but I find this article a good reason to do just that. We need to divert some of this income and wealth away from the rich and greedy to the poor and needy. Shit, not even the poor and needy, how about the middle class, most of which pay a higher percentage in income taxes than do these millionaires. The increasing gap between the rich and poor is becoming a problem, and the middle class is a dying breed.
In no way does this mean I undermine the value of these millionaires and all they have contributed to society. In fact, I think the U.S wouldn't be at the top of the economic hill without some of these people. I do find it unfair how much influence they have over U.S policies, the economy, and our overall "Well Being" as a nation.
