It's that last paragraph that really gets me steamed. *People who

Goes both ways Peter, you know that.

There are wealthy Ds and Rs who pay less than poorer Rs and Ds.
Nothing too mysterious, thank goodness :-)

need to be paid, lead the way. Kerry, Biden, Buffett, and Obiteme

patriotic it is to pay taxes, by volutarily increasing their own tax

I cannot argue there.
I am still willing to pay more taxes than I do.
