That's not exactly what I said. Both are dependent on the government. But the rich are dependent on the government MORE. The richer you are the more dependent upon the government to help create wealth and protect it. I don't care what it is: interstate highway system, military industrial complex,FCC, Judiciary system, banking, etc. etc. etc. Where would Jeff Bezos be today if there were no internet?The rich are dependent and the poor are independent? That's a rather newish theory.
It's only fair they pay a higher proportion of earning on taxes. ie Progressive taxation.
