It may be class warfare, but welfare it ain't

Not taking money is not the same as giving money. Now, you could argue that nobody "earns" that much money. Sure. May be. But that's a different discussion. -- - I was involuntarily self-promoted into management. [link\|http://kerneltrap.org/node/4484\|Richard Stallman]

Oh, the rest of us in higher fees. MS has been banging the drum here in WA about wanting to expand but they insist that in order to do so they'll need some new highways so their serfs can get to work more quickly. Who will pay for the highways? Us working stiffs. Who benefits? MS execs mostly (they get to keep their fashionable lakeside addresses), then their employees. The higher incomes actually do consume disproportionate resources and ought to pay for it.

Can you please explain how someone making $1mln is consuming more public money than someone making $25,000 ? -- - I was involuntarily self-promoted into management.
