like dig, i think it is the self-interest of the wealthy to ensure a society does not become too unequal.

this is the lesson of the french revolution.

if you want stability in the long run, you want neither an excessively flat tax code, nor an excessively progressive one.

the best slopes have a decent gradient to them. there's no absolute right or fair answer. but what people desire is probably as good a guide as you are going to get.

The real philanthropists in our society are the people who work for less than they can actually live on. Because they are giving of their time, their energy, and their talents, so people like you can be dressed well, fed cheaply and so on. They're giving to you! - Barbara Ehrenreich
