" One of the wealthiest countries in the world and we have people living out of their cars and children going to bad hungry. " Thanks to President Bush's tax cuts we have a historically low unemployment rate. Many of those who are unemployed chose not to accept work. So because one person has more they should be required to pay your portion of taxes? "They should pay their fair share of taxes" Currently the top 10% of all taxpayers pay roughly 90% of income taxes. Most sane people consider this to be onerous and unacceptable. Only zealots and class warriors maintain the propaganda that they should be required to shoulder a larger burden. "You like people going hungry?" Just curious, what percentage of your income did you donate to charity last year? Did you tithe? Charities feed the hungry an average of 10 times more efficiently than government programs do. It is foolish to support increased government spending on wealth redistribution. "You don't really care about the country, do you? Its all about your wallet, ain't it?" Unlike you, I care deeply about it, and its potential. And in your case it is obviously all about my wallet. I am not going to make it any easier for you to pick it. Every American should be required to pay taxes. As the percentage of taxpayers falls the country edges closer to the precipice. Once that point is reached the country will quickly dissolve. If you can't understand it, you are hopeless. "If you ever have children, it is highly unlikely that The United States of America will exist at the time of their death. You will probably never have the honor to admit that it was you and your kind that killed it, instead blaming it on the rich. You may even lack understanding and believe the lie." Your interpretation was wrong. The facts are facts and you liberal spin will not change them. You class warfare partisans seem unable to accept credit for your accomplishments. The fact that you don't pay anywhere near the taxes you would if the system was fair is just one of them.
