Give me a break.
And those guys on Wall St. walking away with $30 million. Did THEY work harder than the rest of us?
Maybe it was because they were so successful at what they do.

I truly hope so. I hope I make what I make because I'm successful.
It helps me to carry the load for smucks that can't carry their own load.
We we talk about 'using' or 'costing' more - no Bill Gates doesn't use more as an individual than any other person. As an individual - it is the individual who is taxed.
If you really want to go for the GROSS cost of Bill Gates, Windows, et. al. - we'd be paying him for the services and productivity and technology he has brought us, not the other way around.
I truly hope taxes get based on success, worth and VALUE. Less VALUE in, more taxes out - let's chant that a while.
