In think you need to defend your assertion that the wealthy are not footing a lot of the bill.

As for "wealthy", the Administration thinks it's above 250K. Personally I don't think that's rich, but we're talking about the top 2% of households who already pay over 40% of Federal taxes.

I'm in between planes right now, sorry if I don't have the time for some pretty graphics to adorn my post.

I'm sure you have some "pretty graphics" in your pocketbook. Oops, I meant carry on.

I have a rather booring Hartmann briefcase and a Tumi rollaboard that I do really love. Good to have a good suitcase when you're on the road as much as I am.

Really, I am sorry if this isn't living up to expectations. I'm multitasking at this moment, trying to respond to this inane thread, quaff a few IPA's and draft some technical roadmaps for a VERY LARGE DEAL.

Good luck with your deal. I hope it's as big as your huge ego.

Nah, I don't really think it's ego.
