They always have some lame excuse as to why they should not be required to pay their fair share.

Until the collapse of the global economy I never really thought about the rich or elite much.

I had no reason to like or dislike them.

After much research and exposure to the subjects of corporate taxes, loopholes, subsidies, offshore accounts and the weight of political power they have, I have formed an opinion.

I have disdain and contempt for those who feel they are doing the world a favor just by existing.
