Take a look at the distribution - the top 20% control more than 80% of the wealth. So quitcher whining about "fair."
So the rich are paying their fair share then, so why do people whine about 'tax cuts' for the rich. And note I'm using the democrat definition of rich, which is basicly someone with a good job.
