I think I've pieced together, from your above comments, that you are trying to say that you don't support the idea of redistribution. I obviously disagree for the reasons I stated above. By the way, I didn't say anywhere that we should get rid of the rich, just tax them. The aristos are in a class of their own. You've heard of our royal family and their lord and lady friends, yes? Wasn't there a reason why the US founding fathers decided not to perpetuate an aristocracy?

I see no conflict of interest in working as a public servant. It's gratifying to know that the work I do simply helps people and does not go toward lining some corporate manager's pockets. I also pay my taxes like everyone else. Yes the service I provide is funded by the government. Doctors, police, firefighters and judges are also public servants. I think these are rather essential jobs. Would you hurl the same vitriol at them as well?
