I think that I've finally realized why the dems are typically for "soaking the rich." Because they're not actually after the rich... They're after the high wage earners.

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that the "richest" dems, like Kerry want to increase taxes on high wage earners. It really doesn't effect him, since he and Teresa already have their money! He makes a few hundred thousand dollars a year, and she gets plenty from investments, but the vast majority of their accumulation of wealth is untouched by taxes! So, why wouldn't they be for tax hikes? It doesn't really affect them.

That's why rich Democrats are adamantly opposed to a National Retail Sales Tax.
