Yeah -- I know -- when someone isn't taxed -- they are "getting money" from the government. <g>

The problem I have with that line is -- [I'm not a big fan of bankers -- by the way] --
take it to it's logical conclusion -- anything anyone makes -- is a gift to them from the government just because it didn't get extracted from them by the government.

Arguing about the correct tax rate -- while the SOBs in power have the power AT ALL to spend more than comes in for a given year -- is just masturbation.

If the argument makes you feel good for a little while ... fine.

Government OUGHT NOT TO BE ALLOWED TO SPEND MORE THAN TAX REVENUES IN ANY GIVEN YEAR -- PERIOD.

Until that is fixed -- arguing about who is taxed at what rate -- is simply arguing over scraps that are leftover after the thieves in Washington get done raping who they have raped -- which is everyone to some degree!!
