10. But that raises the question

of who should be making "$millions IN SALARY."

Really. How many people are worth millions of dollars per year -- when people who are responsible for people's lives make a tiny fraction of that?

Yeah -- if I were making $35 million a year, I probably wouldn't want to pay tax on it either. But, your post just accepts the implicit assumption that there are scads of people who are worth that much.

Anyway, most of these people find ways to get the money transferred from our pockets to theirs without it being called "salary."
