Well, I find it interesting that our lawmakers are mostly in that top 1%. And I have to say that I do find some credence in the idea that the top 1% are not necessarily the most productive members of our society. That's something to think about.

First of all, Vanity Fair is not a "liberal rag". And comparing it to the National Enquirer says more about the person saying that than it does the magazine.

So many of you are so quick to dismiss this article. My question to you: If you only read those things that you totally agree with, how do you ever check your ideas? Do you not find it necessary to "check in" with your ideas against other ideas periodically?

I'm not embracing this article in total -- but it does present some interesting ideas.
