OK Game on. What about this lazy sloth who is part of the reviled rich (hubby and I together make just over the limit that Obama considers rich) To qualify for “rich status” hubby and I both work > 80 hours per week at times. We frequently put in 14 hour days, and we work nights, holidays and weekends. Slothful, huh.
Last year we paid over 100K in federal taxes. We currently have 2 kids in college to the tune of 80K per year without any financial aid, because we are “rich” Lazy, huh
Being responsible and conservative adults, we are saving for our retirement. We have no illusions we will receive any social security, etc... In order to save for our retirement, we have invested heavily in our 401ks
So I guess that makes us part of the horrible investment class. After paying the highest tax rate, and over 100K last year in federal taxes, just how much more would you like me to pay in capital gains on my well earned investmeents????
I would say those who pay no taxes and live on Obama money are slothful, not those who actually EARN a living.

Mom MD you work for a living.. so why waste your time defending people who don’t.

In past posts I have called for ending property taxes, encourage ownership. Plus lowering taxes on income and payroll taxes, encourage work.
