I'm not denying that I'm in that 20%, but I have also NEVER claimed a single cent of dividend or capital gain income in my life. And I suspect that a large percentage of my fellow 20%'ers could say virtually the same thing, so this is really benefitting a very small group of uber-rich who will only use any reduced taxes to acquire even more wealth at the expense of the rest of society.

But since we're on the topic, exactly how much of America's wealth do YOU think is enough for that top 20% to own? Is 84% enough? If it is, WHY are you advocating a policy which will only make that number larger? And since you are advocating that policy, at what point will YOU say enough is enough? 90%? 95%? 99%?
