They do seem to lift yachts, if they are big enough. The trouble is, even if is only 97% big enough, they don’t get the prize. I feel sorry for those people who think money bys happiness, it helps, but those truly driven to have the most have an addiction much like a gambler that can’t stop.Even more they are like hoarders. I don’t like them though because they are so sure that only they are worthy.Look at Gandi, I doubt if he would choose money over all that he had.
Breaking news: In China Bo Xilai was found guilty of all charges.In the US, Republicans voted to defund Bo the water dog saying he needed to get a job.
What you and others do not seem to realize is that the percentage of their actual wealth that the wealthy pay is no more (and may even be less) than the percentage of the wages and wealth of the middle class and working poor. In fact, from a pure wealth stand point, the top 0.4% of the wealthy own some 40% of the wealth of this nation, and the bottom 40% own some 0.4%. So, just who should be paying the largest percentage of the federal taxes? Especially, as it is those very federal taxes that have built much (if not most) of the very infrastructure of this great country that the wealthy have depended upon to help generate the very wealth that they so enjoy.
