Consider this regarding the Top 400 Wage Earners in the United States:
In September, Forbes magazine released its annual list of the 400 wealthiest Americans--and the group's net worth had jumped 8 percent from last year to a combined $1.37 trillion. The industries that dominate the list--surprise, surprise--are finance, investment and real estate.
In the debate over whether Congress should allow Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy--estimated to cost around $700 billion over the next 10 years--to expire, the cries of the wealthy reached a near-deafening level.
Come on, why punish them in this tough economy. I am sure everyone saw an 8% increase in their wages last year.
