I hardly call six-digits upper class,
you still have to work to make that.
I mean folks like George W. Bush, who basically was born rich and his income comes from investments, not work.

bad idea, all this would do is deter spending and promote investment,
overinvestment and underspending is exactly what caused the recent problems.

damn straight!
to add to that, we also need to do something about the justice system,
so that stupid people can't fuck up and then sue companies or the government for their personal stupidity. It's time to drop the nanny state and have people think for themselves (I always have been a bit of a Darwinist biggrin: )
