Your argument is flawless. But it's wasted on the Stephen Moore economists, the intellectual morons who spend their lives justifying why they have theirs and the rest have nothing. Galbreath: "The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."

The other thing that correlates to this is the fact that our election funding is all private,instead of publicly funded like many other countries are,so those same rich fat cat SOBs can donate a small fortune to their preferred candidates,and thus the candidates actually only represent those highest bidders and cater to their will with lower taxes and more income through corporate welfare programs,whilst raising the taxes on lower income people,and limiting the help that can be applied for or received by said lower income people.

You're damned right this is unfair,and maybe getting publicly funded election campaigns is another way to level that playing field for all us citizens,not just rich folks.
