Interesting topic but my real interest was catching this exchange before it disappears down the wormhole....

The people who complain about their taxes getting stuff for poor people

Are very often the same people who do not complain when some Multi-Millionaire shovels money into a tax shelter so that they can buy a fifth house

are the same people who do not realize that if it was not for stuff bought with taxes: the roads, the public schools, Medicare, etc, that the economy would be pathetic, and that their cushy job would very likely not be there.

are the same people that would be the first to get killed off if they were ever dropped into the libertarian paradises they praise

and finally,

they are the ones who are the parasites, who want the benefits of being American, something that thousands of people literally die in order to get, but do not want to pay one red cent towards them.

1. The only people I know who have 5 or more houses

Are John Kerry and Michael Moore

There are probably many more and I'm sure you don't mean those 2

2. So, you know them. Can you get me their autographs? Oh, Kerry married into the money.

What proof do you have that Moore has more than one home?

5. It was revealed in his divorce proceedings

You could look it up

And Kerry marrying into the money, after ditching the 1st wife who put him through law school, makes him exempt then

11. Some people have 5 houses..4 of them may be called rental income, hardly millionaires.

And speaking of ditching a first wife...the list is exhaustive among both party lines. Look it up, starting under Gingrich.

Did tiki head primitive just say "it's OK because Newt Gingrich did it"?
