the report has a particularly interesting spin which points out the amount of money taxpayers--you know, those folk the right likes to pretend it defends--end up losing as a function of the tax code which effectively subsidizes these pay levels.
personally, i look at this as an insane skewing in the distribution of resources and cannot for the life of me figure out how it is exactly that the populist right was persuaded that defending this sort of nonsense was in any way in their economic interest. but there are greater mysteries in the world, ones that do not lead toward total cynicism in thinking about the way this one does.
