Joe, your envy of people of wealth is sad to observe. I'm sure that if you inherited 10 million or made money in the stock market, you would be incensed to have to pay the government the amount that will be required as of Jan 1, 2011.(especially when you know how they'll spend it) Some people may consider that a hypocritical personality.

Please drop the "rich Scottsdale" analogy. You apparently have never visited here. Every one of my neighbors is an educated professional who works long and hard for all they have. (while it is true that some "inherited" their college education according to your obtuse definition). Four of my neighbors are from Western Pa who grew up with about as much as me(very little), but seem to know how to better themselves through a college education and work. Instead of whining about those who have more than they do, they went out and got it themselves.(Note: We all remain Steelers fans. Harolds of Cave Creek is the largest and best Steelers bar west of Pittsburgh)
