The End of the Middle and Working Class?

"Mr. Bush's proposals, if fully adopted, "could eliminate almost all taxes on investment income and wealth for almost all Americans." Mr. Bush hasn't yet gotten all he wants, but he has taken a large step toward a system in which only labor income is taxed."

Is this how we want our society to work? Your labor benefiting those so wealthy that they do not have to work?

Where is the inherent fairness of the statement "All men are created equal" in this.

Remember, Bush has not fleeced our future to the benefit of the wealthy on his own. Petri helped pass his tax bills, and will continue to.
