@piano: I didn't say we should tax both middle and upper class. I said we should tax the upper class more and the middle class less because most of the money givers in this country are now middle class, not upper class. Obviously one rich person is going to have more money to invest than one middle class person, but if you combine all of the middle-class investments in this country, it is much greater than the total amount of upper class investments.

You are going to hack into those websites and broadcast hypnotic messages that force us to obey Henry, the Llama King.

But Ford is much larger than the private companies it works with. Like I said, companies and funds that depend on middle-class shareholders account for over 80% of American business. Besides, the companies you speak of that produce technologies or parts for Ford are either large public companies themselves or small companies owned by middle-class people. I guess what I mean is that large, private companies with upper-class owners are much rarer these days than during the Reagan administration. That is why Reaganomics is outdated. Edit: What's wrong with schools?

@piano: Why would public companies invest in private companies? Ford builds and ships its own cars without help from anyone else.

@piano: You are talking about private companies again. I am talking about public companies and investment funds, which make up the majority of American businesses today. The main source of income for these things are middle-class shareholders. 20 years ago, your explanation would have made sense. Now, however, the upper class is almost completely on the receiving side instead of the giving side.

at amazon.com I don't know if you've heard of this. Amazon sells whole gallon of milk over the internet. People become very excited and write over 400 reviews for it.

I marked disagree for everything except the one for no limits on my sexual diet.

We are in the year 2006, not 1986. The income that you speak of now comes from the middle class instead of the upper class. Investment funds, the stock market, and various other systems of pooling money of shareholders together now account for over 80% of American businesses. Take mutual funds as an example. The people involved are: 1. Trustees - Upper class (RECEIVES money) 2. Managers - Upper class (RECEIVES money) 3. Shareholders - Middle class (GIVES money) Right now, we are taxing #3 instead of #1+2. Reaganomics is very outdated.
