yeah, it would be nice if you could get the rich to pay more. but just by showing them that article probably wouldn't do a thing.
it's like when you're raising a child, and he does something wrong. bad grades, broke rules, whatever.
you care as the parent...the trick is making the kid care so that he won't do it again.
so, we have to make the rich care. how?

This whole global economy hasn't been thought through what it does to your society. Sure on paper it works, give countries like China and India money and they will buy your products and your growth will increase. In reality those countries are very protective of their economies and their people are very nationalistic in their buying. It would take hundreds of years for that to change meanwhile we are the big losers. Hate to say this and I know I will get absolutely ****ing blasted but we need to be protectionist of our economy. This is not the 1920's - 30's things are completely different and what was a bad practice then may not be such a bad practice now. We are HEMORRIGHING buying power daily... MOST people don't want a hand out, they want to work... As stated in the article the middle class PUMPS nearly all what they make back into the economy...
