They do tax the hell out of the rich. Rich isn't much these days anyway, you don;t have to make very much in order to have to hand over 30 percent or so of your income to the IRS.

It's quite an attitude though. I guess if 'rich' people said let the poor rot it would be a different matter huh?

I guess if we get rid of all the 'rich' people then the govt would have all the money, it would have to go somewhere... and gee whiz we could all live like chinese peasants and try to get by on two dollars a week.

good thinking Linda. I hope you get your wish in your personal life at least, God forbid you should ever make a living wage. What a hypocrite you would be then.

Why don;t you go find a job in a sweatshop somewhere? Live an idyllic bohemian life in a cold water flat and die in your own spittle like a good citizen.
