Tib, there are three kindsa people in this world that the word "unfair" doesn't apply to: Millionaries, billionaires, and religious leaders. XD
The South Park episode on illegal downloading comes to mind every time someone starts claiming raising the taxes on people making 7+ figures is unfair. Oh no, they'll have to wait a few more months to afford their gold-and-jewel-encrusted in-pool wet-bar-with-shark-tank? Fucking WAAAAH. Meanwhile there's kids in the inner city smoking crack and shooting one another? Fuck that! Allow me to direct my pity at someone who ACTUALLY deserves it; the rich entitled upper crust of the nation! Now THERE are some poor souls need a tear shed for their plights...
