I bet you can't -- it's the world's smallest violin playing just for members of this minority group (those making more than 250 K per annum, who constitute 2% of the American population and the 5% who earn more than 102 K). Regarding the abolishment of the social security tax cap: why shouldn't members of this minority group pay the same social security taxes as everyone else, what entitles you and your minority group pals to such a cap? As for the quote you admire: I give you the benefit of the doubt that you recognize there are far more people who make less than 280 or 102 K that have worked their asses off and who do have their "act together" , for instance: software developers, paralegals, social workers, prison guards, teachers, etc, etc, etc. That said, I do respect your post since you've abstained from use of the meaningless and clichéd 'socialist' epithet.
