Paris Hilton is not working harder than a person who must work more than one full time job, and yet can't get health insurance. That is an idiotic statement. She is paid more for her work, but that doesn't mean that she is actually working harder. And I believe in a luxury tax. The rich are the ones able to rest on their laurels and so since that is a luxury to you or me, they should be taxed higher for their luxury purchases. Otherwise, they are simply greedy. I guess we could come up with a greed tax.
