I use various print tools to send ps/pdf to printers all-the-time.

E.g., I typically write my books on 7.0" x 8.5" pages.  When I go to
print them, I sometimes want to be able to take the original ps/pdf and
generate a PDF of page 1 and 4 on the front, and page 2 and 3 on the
back, of a single 14" x 8.5.  That's how you soft-bind books (after a
fold).

I also like to use tools to resize the 7.0" x 8.5" output to 8.5" x 11"
pages for typical office binding as well, in the regular order.

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you.  Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them).  This is why someone who makes more than you always gets at
least the same, if not a bigger, tax cut.  Otherwise is impossible.
