"Do you understand that the reason so few people pay so much of the tax is because those few people also make most of the money?"

Well, obviously..

What I do find disconcerting is that the many people that pay so little some how have been convinced that the people that pay so much, are actually the leach's on society"

Look, I have employees that work their 40 hours, and go home. They have no interest in starting a business, or putting in any extra effort to increase their fortunes other than the occasional purchase of a 'lottery ticket"

That is fine, and that is their choice. But, then if they turn around and moan about "income inequality" and that the "deck" is somehow stacked against them. Then I take issue with that.

Look, I started out working in the farm fields when I was 10. My Father passed when I was 4. I had nearly every disadvantage against me that one could have.

My success is based on hard work and making "good choices" in life. Believe me.. If I can do it....Anyone can do it.

And so it goes,
