Reply #17: There are still a few - but it is rapidly decreasing.

When you look at the gap between rich and poor, and those who may be homeowners but are mortgaged to the hilt, the number of foreclosures, the unemployment rate - you've got to admit that things are pretty precarious for most.

For those who like capitalism and want to see the middle-class lifestyle for your children you'd better think about how that can realistically happen - and it's going to involve taxing the rich. Those of us who still have a little money are likely in that position because of inheritance (parents, grandparents who lived during the 40s-80s and were able to put away a little savings).

Personally I'd like to see an economic system that puts people and the earth over profits. Capitalism is killing most of us and certainly poisoning our planet.
