and I'll add, no one is giving me anything, I don't know where you got that idea from.
you sound like you would defend Arianna Huffington, living in a 7 million dollar house, private jets, essentially writing off every function of her life (meals, homes, travel, cars) as a "business expense" and paying $771 in federal income taxes. that is wrong.
since when does being a conservative mean that you have to excuse tax evasion? not me, I will not excuse it.

What you ARE saying is that it is perfectly ok for a government to grab 50% of an individuals wealth. No human being should be ripped off for that much money. God only asks for 10%, who is the Fed to demand more?
When the money is left in the hands of the one that made it, he reinvests it, builds companies, invests in experimental things, starts up business's for friends and family, makes loans interest free, and creates jobs. What does the Fed invest in? Poverty, and making darn sure that everyone is growing ever more poverty stricken every year.
This principle is the very foundation of conservative ideals, maybe you should re-examine your priciples and see if you really are a conservative.
