More relevant is corporate governance - both how execs run businesses, and how pay is fairly assessed.

So they never have to put up with sh*t for long.<br /><br />Therefore the tax burden always falls on the hardworking middle and lower classes. <br /><br />The only fair system is a low tax system. <br /><br />Unless you want to restrict people's movement and the flow of capital. But then that would be full blown communism. And that would just make us all poor.RobWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02255978974948870928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-5431804229739691372009-04-21T19:42:00.000+01:002009-04-21T19:42:00.000+01:00Anti - I know some of these people, and am not sur...Anti - I know some of these people, and am not sure how productive they are. As for the rest, my very simple calculation shows (as Warren Buffet has noted) that the middle class actually pay a higher marginal rate than the rich.Paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07952088638231881617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-9829272661531207662009-04-21T19:11:00.000+01:002009-04-21T19:11:00.000+01:00So the people who are most productive must be fine...So the people who are most productive must be fined?<br /><br />What a moronic idea!AntiCitizenOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00017073518049848696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-53024044379593795232009-04-21T18:45:00.000+01:002009-04-21T18:45:00.000+01:00Life's not fair.
