why is that a shame? and why should 'principals' be applied equally to all? that smacks of communism, good man. people of greater means should be able to buy better representation, thus encouraging those of lesser means to strive to better their position. my only complaint is that there is no practical way to enforce a 100% inheritance tax, to keep layabouts from becoming people of significant means.
give me an even playing field, and cut-throat commercialism. its just not as easy to even the playing field as it should be. if only people really were created equal. ah well, better living through chemistry, and someday they will be.
