I heard this story that I think all democrats should hear:
There was a girl named Jane, who was very liberal and just about to graduate from college.
Her father was a rich republican, so when Jane came back from break they started talking, first about school, Jane said that she studied all the time, and rarely had time to see anybody, but was getting a 4.0... then the subject moved to politics.
Jane believed that the government should distibute the money throughout the country, by giving the rich smaller tax cuts.
Tha father then asked her how her roommate was doing.
Jane told him not too well, she parties a lot and is only getting a 2.0, she is popular but rarely goes to class.
The father then says, ah well i see, well so why dont you give her 1.0 of yours, so then you both will have 3.0.
Jane said of course not! i worked hard for my grades...she then realized that its not fair to whine about taxing the rich because they had earned it, they shouldn't be punished for their success..

So a guy that inherits his family's wealth or inherits a nice community, good home, good school earned these things?
I do see the point though. There are people that definitely deserve more because they work for it while others don't.
