As long as there is a Democrat Party, we will have millions of economically ignorant citizens. My Dem friends, family, co-workers truly believe among other things that the rich pay no taxes, Bush tells the oil companies when to raise and lower prices, and corporations are evil. I would bet that a majority of Democrat faithful believe at least one or all of the preceding statements.

Drift,

This is true , but I spoke up in the college setting!

Accounting class, the 1st intro chapter to taxes and how to deal with them.

Teacher quipped the rich get away bla-bla-bla.....

"Excuse me, I disagree"

I then politely relayed a story about a high net worth individual employing hundreds and when I saw the 1040 (In a business at the time that had me doing so)and did the math it was a 50% bracket.

Dead Silence, but I am sure I got some wheels spinning....
