Well, ya could always go on over to the other blog and brag about what new clever names and insults you came up with to use on Democrats, Liberals and Joe. They’re pretty active over there.

You don’t need to pull out the pacifier to type.

Some just wound up more skilled at, or luckier than others.

That unspoken, but very significant, social contract of paying it forward into the system that made you successful may help keeping just a very select few from being absurdly wealthy in a nation of those who’re suffering.

Us serfs should only help the rich lords and ladies built their top-heavy trickle-down pyramids for so long.

I’d say Infamous, but yeah.

Won’t this be a sticky issue for those complaining about how their tax money is being spent but yet spend more money yearly “playing the lottery”.

All you folks are doing is making the financially successful a “straw-man” in an argument and pitting them against those who are “less successful” among us. What does that solve?? Has ANY of this destructive rhetoric produced a single PENNY of extra income for YOU?????

What you all need to understand is that no matter how much you try and level the OUTCOMES in life, some are just simply more ambitious, smart, motivated (place your favorite adjective here) then others and their motivation will always ensure that they have more than someone else. Conversely, there will always be those who are lazy among us who will sit with their hand-out. That is just a fact of the human condition and no bit of legislation will change that.

What stealing money from those who work hard and make smart business choices to give to others will actually motivate the “makers of wealth” to simply stop working (and stop creating for the benefit of others). I’m almost at that cross-road right now. Not that I make a lot of money, but as a small business owner I have to decide whether or not the time, effort, long days, sleepless nights is worth the very small pay-off after the government takes most of my income. I can say from experience that you do NOT have to be “rich” in the sense that most people think to get financially RAPED by the government through punative taxation.

Don’t believe me?? Start your own business and you’re ENTIRE outlook on the government will change dramatically and you will see just how parasitic it is!! As an employee, you will NEVER understand or even know how much the government takes from your employer. . .
