This idea that taxes are "stolen" from the rich...when I said wacky I guess I didn't realize how FAR RIGHT I was (amongst)!

So if you are richer then me, and over the next twenty years that gap increases....

Well, I certainly won't be writing long-winded diatribes asking for pity from those that are less fortunate (all the while demanding that the poor pay more taxes.)

Long ago I noticed that the more taxes I paid and the more I shared, the more I seemed to make. (In fact, this is an ancient belief that predates any "isms") And it appeared to be an agreeable contract between this great country and the honest and hard working amongst us. At least for me, it continues to work like magic.

Then I noticed that there are people who have come into a decent income who begin to squawk continually about not being able to keep enough..blah..blah...And, get this, these ingrates always seem to credit only themselves for what wealth they've acquired and never give any thanks to the great nation that allowed them to prosper. The selfish bores love to talk amongst themselves about plots among "liberal media" and how lazy and undeserving most poor people are. (Also they seem to have an affinity for voting for spoiled dim-witted frat boys.....oh never mind... )
