CLASS ENVY

Say I take you out for dinner and pick up the tab. Whether I can afford it is irrelevant; you still get the free lunch. So why are liberals so obsessed with the incomes of others? Indeed, for Occupy Wall Street and the Democratic politicians supporting them, raising taxes on the rich remains an article of faith. And it's a convenient theory, if for no other reason than that the well-to-do will always have the "ability" to pay more, at least until you get the last dime.
