    Article says "what the fuck are the selfish SOBs complaining about and why are they trying to tell us things are bad and they can't pay more taxes." I and probably most others on this board agree. Not sure why you'd be the one posting it.

    It's interesting. It's part of the debate.

    The writing is good, and so are the characters.

    One doesn't necessarily imply the other.

    I pay my middle class taxes without squawk. Why do the robber barons object - so long and so loud - to paying their share?

    Yes. All of those buildings named for the super wealthy on college, hospital, and cultural arts campuses are so named by pure happenstance.

    I don't hear them objecting to paying their share. I do hear them objecting to paying more than they already do.

    Greedy and philanthropic aren't mutually exclusive?

    Their tax rates have never been lower. The ad absurdum vanishing point of their argument is that they pay nothing at all.
