oh, and another thing - this nation is approaching the Soviet goal of equality from a different angle, and, as a matter of fact, has advanced much further than the Soviet ever did!!! and it is not about the money... it is everything else - the political correctness being one of the major ones...

so true man, progressive tax system is so ridiculous it boggles my mind. Tell me what percentage I owe across the board, make it the same for all regardless of income level, and you'd be surprised at how much easier "tax season" is.
And you're so right, with an Eastern European background I see it so much today, you cannot say anything without ridicule for fear of offense, even if there is no outcry to offend someone! Keeps the peoples voices "equal" in that regard, even if we have "free speech"....
Before I get OT and me and Terminator start talking former Soviet bloc reconstruction, carry on...
