I like the rich.
I oppose high taxes on the rich.
The rich create jobs and grow the economy.

Now, having said all that, I have to add that our VAST government budget, with it's TRILLION dollar deficit is being parceled out, by government bureaucrats, to both rich and poor alike. There are government regulations and government subsidies that help the rich. Rich folks make a lot of political contribution either on behalf of themselves, or on behalf of their companies -- and while they might sometimes make these contributions out of the goodness of their hearts, in most cases they do it because they want something in return.

We have a fascist system. It's been here for years. The government helps certain people and those certain people help the government.

I don't know if the author looks at it the same exact way I do, but I say the Rich get Richer, and the solution to that problem is to drastically decrease government spending and make the government a smaller part of our economy and a smaller part of our society.

Correct, whoever has the gold makes the rules, always been that way , always will. The thing is with government such a huge influence over everything this becomes more blatant. I just resent government hacks telling everyone they're for the "middle class" when we know they benefit from this arrangement.
