Subject: RE: BS: Taking a stand
I find it interesting that John argues the side of the 1 %, the 1 % that the Senate resolution targeted. 1 % that the Senate was targeting to gain public support for letting the Bush era tax breaks expire. I find this interesting because anyone who has earned no more than the amount he said was the maximum he has earned in his life has much to gain financially and nothing to lose from the country not giving tax breaks to that 1 %. I wonder what he believes his self interest is. One would think that at least his sense of patriotism would kick in. But it seems that tax breaks fro rich people he does not know are a bigger priority than the well being of the country. There are millions like John. It is a puzzle.
