I agree.
Everyone stands on the shoulders of others.
And _no_one_ is greater than anyone else.
We're all a GPL community that works together.

[ You'll note that I carefully said "GPL." ]

Once again, I agree.

And I think votes like this are a great way to let people know.

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you.  Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them).  Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work.  ;->
