It is a very weird country. Much of us in the rest of the world just can't get our head around why the rich are so protected. You have something like 50 million people living in poverty in the US (more than twice the entire population of Australia) and yet so many seem determined to protect the wealth creation ability of the top few percent of income earners. It's just crazy. People like Ryzorian (who probably earns bugger all) seems happy for lower income earners to pay more tax and the wealthiest pay less by introducing a flat tax rate. I just can't understand how anyone would think this would be better for the country. Ryzorian is a complete nutter though so I'd expect nothing less.
