Which Thought is More Dangerous?

Fact: you are probably not in the top 1%. You are probably no where near to being there even if you are an millionaire.

Bush logic: The top 1% should pay taxes based on their individual share of the burden.

My logic: Those who have 90% of the wealth should bear 90% of the tax burden: after all, much of our labor and our resources are used to keep them wealthy.

Dollars have fewer rights — not more — than people do.
