Concerns Americans don't understand economy   The lack of
economic understanding in what I believe to be the majority of
our people continues to alarm me. News flash, the wealthy don't
pay taxes, the consumers, that is you and me, pay their taxes in
the cost of the goods and services that the wealthy provide and
produce. For example, if the so-called wealthy produce 1,000
T-shirts and his taxes are increased $1,000, then the cost of
the T-shirt to you and me just went up $1, which causes
inflation and decreases our lifestyle.  When the debate on the
farm bill was taking place, it was stated that if it doesn't
pass, we will be paying $6 a gallon for milk. Guess what, that
is what we are already paying, $4 at the store$2 in subsidies
and then add in the 15 percent for government, or really $6.90.
Government doesn't decrease the price we pay, they just try to
hide it from us and pretend that they our really on our side.
