You really are like trying to paint a moving train or nail Jello to the wall. Hold still.

Don't talk macro. Talk micro.

Two people. You: Making $60,000 with taxable income of $48,000.

Someone else: Making $1,000,000 with taxable income of $800,000.

Only talking Federal taxes now (FICA and Income). Do the math and I'm sure you will find that you are paying a higher rate than the millionaire. Don't forget the FICA CAP.

You honestly feel that others are not paying their fair share because they are paying 98% to keep this government running.

I have tried my absolute best to explain it, but anything I say has been rejected.

Your task is to justify why the other 50% of the population, who does not actually pay for this government, used almost 80% of the government funds.

I am guilty for falling into your trap. And for that, I do applogize to my fellow Freepers.

You know, I had to stop and think for a moment.

Why, if I have personally lived on both sides of this issue, did your comments get me so upset?

Then I thought about it:

In High School, the other big boys would thump on me because I was the smart kid in class. They absolutly hated me, because I made them look dumb.

20 years later, these same idiots that thumped upon me, are now asking me to support my family, and theirs also.

No Freaking way!

REVENGE OF THE NERDS!
