Fantastic article! As I've said before -- it just ain't that simple.... and I'm referring to all the OWS - or tax the 1% into oblivion etc. And this article points out far better than I can --- some of those notions.
I think that almost EVERYONE can agree that no CEO is worth 100 million a year bonus... or that corporations should pay zero income tax when they have made millions (or hundreds of millions)... or that people should get ripped off. Period.
How we go about fixing those issues is the real issue in America.
Personally I've never understood how we can borrow from China to send money to Somalia (substitute any country here)... and create debt we can never afford to pay back - so we borrow more to pay the old stuff. It's ludicrous! Which is why many are saying - don't raise my taxes - cut your spending etc.
I also love these discussions... they never settle anything - but they're educational and worth talking about IMHO.
