Lifestyles of the rich and pampered

According to a study conducted by the New York Times, the tax cuts enacted by the Bush administration have made the rich richer.

Gee, isn't that a surprise?

If you were fortunate to make more than $26 million last year, like me and my friends (yeah, right), you paid about the same percentage in taxes as folks who were fortunate enough to make between $200K-$500K. Yup, you make one hundred times as much as these people and pay the same percentage in taxes. And guess what? That saved you about $1 million in taxes.

The Times study also showed that more than 70% of the tax savings on investment income went to the top 2% percent of investors.

Let's hear it for making the super rich super richer! Shall we just call them ultra rich? Uber rich?
