well duh, obviously theyre targeted. And going on about how much she coulda been taxed 50 years ago is irrelevant.

Bottom line is she had a moan about taxes just like everybody else does. Get over it. And youre dangerously close to sounding like some socialist hater of the rich. Heavily taxing rich people just scares them away and then our economy and public services lose out on millions. Just because somebody can afford to pay over 50% tax it doesn't mean its always fair to take that much. Theyre putting in far more than they get back out. Nobody could blame them for saving themselves millions by investing overseas. Most would, including those who get high n mighty about rich people paying heavy taxes.
