What sort of person thinks there is nothing wrong with asking the folks who teach our children to take a 20% cut on a $50,000.00 salary, but thinks it's a terrible idea to ask millionaires to pay an additional 3% in taxes?

Alan: From the beginning, humankind has been fooled about many things.
Foremost among them is the presumption that nearly continual warfare is necessary and productive.

"It gives us a very special, secret pleasure to see how unaware the people around us are of what is really happening to them."
Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf
"Why of course the people don't want war... Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought along to do the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." Hermann Goering, Adolf Hitler's Deputy Chief and Luftwaffe Commander, at the Nuremberg trials, 1946.
