Define "very rich".

what we are all not. How about avg. income equal to $170million/year


I'm in the 15% tax bracket. I watched my income tax bill go down from
$2500 in 2001 to $700 this last year, not including the $1600 check I
got in the mail last August for that advance child credit. You might
be willing to say that a $3400 reduction in my taxes is "not much for
me", but it was a significant percentage of my yearly income, and
represented a huge double-digit percentage of my "disposable" income,
almost a doubling.

Then again, I'm not supporting him on every issue he trumpets. Am I
fooling myself?

Depends on whether or not you expect to see any Soc. Sec. money.
And whether or not you're okay with postponing debt to another generation.

The problem is that there exists an taxation inequality.
