But what is considered "rich"? Let's start by taxing the rich Malibu entertainers who pony up huge contributions to the working class party and Mrs. Bill Clinton. Next on the list would be rich rock star acts such as Rage Against The Machine and Bono. Think Streisand and Oprah qualify? How about Ted Danson and Tim Robbins? What do they pay in taxes? Will they open up their books? Do they work the loopholes like big oil execs? How about Haliburton shareholders like Michael Moore? Next let's tax rich sports celebrities like Tiger Woods and A-Rod. Since they don't really work for a living and place nothing at risk maybe they should be the first to get their shanks roasted. We can tax their limos, vacation properties, yachts and SUV's. Steve Jobs and Algore are raking in huge bucks as board members of Apple. This week I checked APPL and it was over $170 per share up from $85 only nine months ago. That's close to a 200% increase in less than one year! Of course Mrs. Bill Clinton knows how to turn a buck in cattle futures. Is she considered rich too? Does she pay her fair share? ~o) “Reich only wants to do this to ‘the rich’”
