Because They've Earned It

[Shawnee123]

Shock did make some good points. If anyone remembers, oh so long ago, was that my objection that the underlying attitude is that if you DON'T make a lot of money you are lazy or stoooopid. This was my problem with it all along.

At any rate, I like Rkz idea of a flat tax. This means flat tax...no high paid tax preparers finding loopholes to save the rich thousands of dollars, and no reward for popping out babies to afford the poor a giant refund of money which they did not initially pay.

So, you see, I am really for equality for the masses, not just those who can afford it, not just those who have the knowledge to fudge it, and not just those who play the system and reap the benefits of people like me: the middle class.

I have said it before and I'll say it again: the middle class is disappearing, and a country without a middle class cannot sustain itself.
