By the way - What's the profit margin of your industry/company? (Look it up) More than 10%? Beware, the government may try to come after you next! Doesn't everyone work for an "evil" corporation of some kind? Doesn't "punishing" the successful ones cause jobs to be cut? Hey, yours could be next. I say "no thank you" to this "economic justice".
