    There is a report today that income figures for the richest Americans -- the top 1 percent -- grew in 2003. In other words, the rich got richer. On top of that, the income taxes they paid declined. Get ready for another round of class warfare in the media, and you can depend on the media not pointing out that income taxes are paid on income and not on wealth appreciation. Sadly, most Americans wouldn't even understand what I just said.
