I knida meant it as a joke. I just think it's funny that politicians want to hurt the prolaterate and middle class while they live in lavish luxury of minimal tax impediment.

That's exactly it. We're suffering and they are living in the lap of luxury...

The epitome is when the auto industry executives took their private jets to Washington to hold their hats out and beg to be bailed out. That has to be one of the biggest faux pas that I've ever seen.

Understood

It's just kind of a pain in the rear because I'm constantly defending my business from people who automatically think that since CEO's have private jets, that ALL private jet companies are the devil.

I love my jets and would probably have a complete mental breakdown if my company had to shut down I love my job that much.
