I’m always astounded at the class bashers amongst the left.  In the ranch hand example Mitch uses below, would the worker be better off if the “rich” guy that hired him paid more in taxes and had to lay him off?  Or would we all be better off if the “rich” were so heavily taxed that all were in the same income class?  The rich spend money, create jobs, industries, innovations and are the cornerstone of success in a republic.  Were it not for their creativity and their desire to build something better, cheaper, faster, more efficiently then we’d all still be riding horses to work, eating salted meat, looking skyward pondering the thought of powered flight with life expectancies in the 40s. Such is the nature of class warfare!
