You assume that the brighest richest, most powerful members of society get the shaft in our society

Attempting a new straw man argument ? No thanks, that isn't what I said at all. I must also note that you seem to have run away from defining "deserve".

You on the other hand assume that the converse is true. That anyone but the richest are getting the shaft.

Unlike your class envy angles, I have yet to make any value judgments as to what or who "deserves". What I have pointed out though is those with proven track records (ieGates) will be more productive with money than others (read congress).

Stop and pause for a moment and see if you can think about taxes and spending without looking through the lens of class envy.

First, you don't have the vaguest idea what income class I belong to. Your allegation of class envy is based on what?

Secondly, you use the term "deserve" in two posts to Age of Reason (#52 and 56). I use it in a context which no one can possibly mis interpret (except you). It is within the context of who "deserves" the tax cut. Haven't you been arguing that those who paid it "deserve" a proportional cut?
