	In what manner do they not pay their fair share. They contribute
a share of taxes that is higher than their numbers, they invest to make jobs 
available to others.  And they are a very fluid lot.  If you look at the 
richest 1/3 in 1980, you will find that less than half are still there by end 
of the decade and quite a few of those in the lower third (and the middle 
third) have gone up to the coveted top 1/3 (per IRS studies).
MS>    I suppose you have a similar attitude on making the rich pay their 
MS>"fair share" (a higher rate!) for auto insurance, too...rather than 
MS>allowing them to use MSA-style high deductibles on collision/comprehens
MS>to save on premiums.
	When the rich start having more accidents and cause the insurance
companies to lose more money,then we can get them paying more for their 
insurance. The absolute LAST thing you want is for medical insurance based
on the model of car insurance where the claims experience is a large part of 
the equation.
