It could be an apple vendor who lowers their price, same difference here. The label doesn't matter.

But I thought they were all atheists, which is it?
==absurd new tax schemes.==
As opposed to the old scheme of cutting taxes for the richest among us and telling the rest it will trickle down to them? How many times of that not working before we are allowed to try something new?

They still pay more than you or I, by rate and nominally, unless most of their income is in long-term capital gains. And this isn't what people target when they talk about a "90%" (or whatever number) income tax rate on the wealthiest.
I would prefer we dismantle our massive war-spending problem before we even start touching taxes. It's such a stupid debate, and I refuse to engage in it beyond that point.
