Who Benefits More? (Dilbert Blog) Rob's Comment: OK, so, this is the Dilbert Blog (by Scott Adams). He makes often interesting points in his blog posts, as he does in the comic strip. This one is provoking either thought, or thought-then-argument. Mr. Adams is owed your comments. A great quote: "This question matters because if the rich get more benefits from the federal government, some would say it is "common sense" that they should pay a higher tax rate. But, as regular readers of this blog know, common sense isn't a real thing. And its ugly cousin, fairness, is a concept invented so dumb people could participate in arguments. Fairness isn't a natural part of the universe. It's purely subjective."
