This is the kind of thing that makes me angry. It makes me even angrier that the Tea Party folks and their ilk don't understand this. Why don't they get it? I suppose one of them might answer that all taxes are evil, all government is bad. Well, no. Taxes are dues. You belong to the club, you pay your dues. You get the armed forces and all kinds of other stuff for your dues. Most of it you would really hate to lose. And you should think about that. And the dues might be fairer if those hedge fund managers and their ilk paid their fair share.
