Neal Boortz: "The rich will continue to do that which makes them rich and the poor will continue to do that which makes them poor".
Never forget this, prosperity is generally a matter of behavior, not chance.
The only underprivileged in this country are those who think they are.

I really like Neal... I once heard him talk about tax policy, and he stated that the poor should be taxed at a higher rate than the rich! Specifically, that those at the lower end of the income scale should be taxed at a higher rate than those at the upper ends of the scale. The "rich" would still pay more in taxes than the "poor," but at the same time, it would be incentive for the high income earners to earn more, since they get to keep more of their own money, and it would provide the lower income earners even greater incentive to earn more!
