So, maybe I am taking a leap here, but if they reverse the tax cuts, could it acually be possible that it would HURT the middle class? Geez, it may actually HURT the people who work and pay taxes, maybe? But its all good, we'll have universal health care, so I can wait in line behind the kids that dropped out of high school and sit around and smoke dope all day, while I work my arse off. Thats fair, we're all equal.

The trust-fund babies who never worked a day in their lives and get their money from the trust set up by great-grandpa - they only have to pay 15%. The top-wage earners (people who worked hard and stuff) are subsidizing the tax burden for the generational rich - this is what Warren Buffet is referring to when he talks about the tax code being favorable to the ruling class.
