1. Unfortunately politeness doesn't hold sway in business.

Nor does "greed". Everyone will gladly eat what's put on their plate - including Democrats. Including the poor.

If you believe, however, that the rich are far less likely to suffer as a result of paying a higher percentage of their wealth in taxes, then you have a political bargaining chip. Then you can make them pay more.

It has nothing to do with sloth, greed, or any other supposed sins.

12. Because it's easier than actually thinking the issue through.

And less frightening for people who MUST have a world of black and white answers.
