Eugene Robinson recently offered an insightful response to Eric Cantor’s CNN interview, which I thought might interest you:
‘ “The issue I think that’s going to play out this election is that question of Warren Buffett’s secretary,” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said Wednesday on CNN. “We want her to make more money, we want her to have more hope for the future. . . . [But] this notion that somehow the income that Warren Buffett makes is the same as a wage income for his secretary, we know that’s not the same.”
‘ In other words, it’s not just that the rich are better than the rest of us but also that their money is better than our money.’ –

“WE believe these truths to be self evident, that all men ( and women) are created equal…(Declaration of Independence of Thirteen Colonies, Adopted by Congress on July 4, 1776)
