Well that raises a point I've thought about too. Isn't Kerry and the other RAT candidates always bi*ching about the President's tax cut only helping the "top 2%" or some such statistic? Trying to make it seem wrong.

Seems to me that Kerry and most other politicians easily fall into this category. Pretty hypocritical.

Bingo!

They have their money, but the means buy which you might make yours is of no concern, which brings me to a point: shouldn't there be a 'wealth tax'? (Literally: a tax on accrued wealth aside from the usual 'taxable income' tax).

They won't even commit to ensuring that the 'death tax' won't go back into effect, YET the Kennedys et al *enjoy* protection from this via trusts set up to 'guard' their money from being confiscated to the tune of 1/2 it's value!
