Yeah, sirs likes it when the super rich get richer and everyone else gets poorer.  That means that the economy is humming along nicely.  (for the super rich).

Or more accurately, when the rich get richer, the middle class move to the rich class (whatever that's supposed to mean), and the poor move to the middle class, with the goal of reaching the "rich class".  That's what "sirs likes" & what it means for the economy to be humming nicely

Then you must be very unhappy since the rich have gotten richer and every other class has gotten poorer.

But that's over in Brassreality not in sun shines out Rush's assworld.

Actually, EVERYONE's gotten richer, simply that "the super rich" get richer faster, and thus skew your scale.  It also doesn't ignore the folks that transition from the lower poor classes to the middle & upper classes.  But please, continue fantasizing the evils of Capitalism and those evil uber rich folk like Soros......ooops, I mean Buffett......oooops

Never, though last time I checked I don't think he was a "liberal".  Another error on your part?  It's hard to keep track of all of them

Stein wrote that article about Buffet and how the rich don't pay their fair share of taxes.

Perhaps this escaped your notice because you had your head stuck somewhere.

Yea, I saw the article.  so?   He's absolutely entitled to his opinion.  Conservatives are wrong many a time.  Or so I'm told.  Nor does it rebutt the position that everyone is getting richer, not just the uber-rich.  Starting to turn rabid again?

And then I pointed out that the only part of the tax structure that forces this to happen is the SS tax.

But you will not agree with me that the SS is a bad thing so I am unclear what you do want.
