We've had a lot of discussion here on Floort about taxes, the wealthy and maintaining a country where the path from rags to riches exists. The conservatives say let all rich people get richer, even at the expense of the poor. The liberals say make sure that poor people aren't poor. But somewhere in the middle is a happy medium. We all want prosperity but when it comes at the expense of the masses, then the country loses. This interesting article is a bit leftist, but note the facts they claim about what percentage the wealthy control.
Interesting topic.
