Aristotle--384 to 322 BC. "Those states are likely to be well administered in which the middle class is large, and larger if possible than both the other classes, or at any rate than either singly; for the addition of the middle class turns the scale and prevents either of the extremes from being dominant." Or--"Inferiors revolt in order that they may be equal, and equals revolt that they may be superior. Such is the state of mind which creates revolutions." And- "-the more things change, the more they remain the same." Don't know the author of the the latter, but it's obviously true.
"The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there… just to scare the shit out of the middle class. Keep ‘em showing up at those jobs." George Carlin... :2thumbsup:

You better go visit the IRS website and re-check your figures on who pays how much of the taxes collected.
Aesop='you may share the labors of the great, but you will not share the spoil(s). Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth. Aristotle.-'poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.' John Bangs.1862-1922. 'I love to watch the rooster crow, He's like so many men I know Who brag and bluster, rant and shout And beat their manly breasts, without the first damn thing to crow about.
