David Sirota at Salon.com sums up the complaints of the rich who think they're overly taxed. Money quote:

"The me-first, screw-everyone-else crowd isn't interested in fairness, empiricism or morality. With 22,000 of their fellow countrymen dying annually for lack of health insurance and with Warren Buffett paying a lower effective tax rate than his secretary, the me-first, screw-everyone-else crowd is merely using the argot of fairness, empiricism and morality to hide its real motive: selfish greed."

Think about that number for a moment. If 22,000 Americans die annual from lack of health insurance, that exceeds the toll of the Vietnam War on Americans (58,159, according to Wikipedia) every three years! We need to understand that this is not an abstract intellectual debate; there are bodies piling up while the U.S. lags behind, dragged down by the weight of immoral, unethical business and medical policies.
