Re: No, you're missing the point.
I've already made the point many times that the wealthy in this country are paying for the vast majority of the government services we all enjoy.
It annoys the hell out of liberals because then they have to spend time digging the information back out of their brain with a spoon so they can go back to telling everyone how Buffett's secretary "pays more taxes" than he does, and that the rich don't pay their "fair share." A really dedicated politically-active liberal goes through a hell of a lot of spoons.
