Like when you cut taxes on the rich, a lot of non-rich people expect to benefit because they expect to become rich in the future. Most of them won't, but they still like the tax cut because they expect to benefit. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:959188561] in Politics C...
