I see. I may have failed to really understand the index; In my defence the article seemed to dwell unduly a small part of it's composition. At the least, these guys need better PR. That article seemed pretty out of touch with those of us in the rest of the tax brackets. Instead of complaining about top tax rates they should be convincing me that net prosperity will increase, even for middle class chumps like me, if we deregulate, lower _everyone's_ taxes, abolish the minimum wage, get rid of medicare/medicaid, get rid of public health insurance and unemployment insurance and welfare and food programs and social security, and &c. That sounds like a hard sell, and I think these guys are afraid to address those issues head on in a public forum like WSJ, so they complain about other stuff that's less relevant.
