Back around 1983-84, I was a struggling musician who had a very bad year in which I only grossed around $17,000. I had no legitimate deductions to speak of, and my tax bill was close to $5,000.
One day that year John Kerry was a guest on a local talk show. I called in and complained to him about how outrageouse it was the the government was taking so much from people like me who made so little.
Kerry proceeded to lecture me about how this is the price we pay for living in a democracy, and that I had to remember that there were many poor people who were far worse off than I was, and that they needed help.
I will never forget how appalled I was by his arrogance and elitism.

He did not offer to give them any of his money though, did he?
When a democrat says they "want to help the poor" what they are saying is that they want to steal from you to buy votes.

Never underestimate the arrogance and nerve of a limousine liberal.
