It must be wonderful to be GregF, to present no facts, but to know everything, and to say anything. He also demeans by not using proper nom de Mudcat (although his tidy-whiteys get all bunched up if his name is accidentally misspelled). So if you write to me or about me, I am either John, JotSC, or (if you want to be formal) John on the Sunset Coast.

For the record, nowhere have I advocated (so-called) tax breaks for high income earners, or the rich. I have advocated that more people should pay income tax; that includes lower income earners (even if the tax is very low) and the very rich, who should and do pay much, much more, and everybody in between. To use a sports cliche, everybody (some few exceptions) should have skin in the game.

Writing a sports cliche brings to mind that when the rich are criticized, here, it is the banker or the corporate executive receiving such opprobrium. No one has called-out sports figures for their wealth and multi-millions/year earnings. The same is true about entertainers and movie/tv stars...many of whom are often the producers of their own projects, as well as projects they don't appear in.
