1. Because tax cuts for the rich will solve every problem this country has
Needs jobs?, give tax cuts to the rich.
Reduce the deficit?, give tax cuts to the rich. If fact I bet if we eliminated taxes on the rich it would eliminate the deficit.
Hunger?, give tax cuts to the rich.
You didn't get a pony from the Obama Administration?, give tax cuts to the rich.
All problems can be solved by giving tax cuts to the rich.

Need jobs? tax companies until they provide new jobs.
Reduce the deficit. tax the rich and spend even more.
Hunger? tax the rich so they are hungry too.
You didn't get your free pony? Tax the rich so you can buy one.
All problems can be solved by raising taxes.

4. me too, this kind of disparity should not exist...
what if they set a maximum wage? If you taxed bill Gates' 50 billion dollars 90%, he'd still have 5 billion, still over a mile high, still more than any one person needs, any thousand people need...sickening...
Tell you what let us decide how much of your paycheck you should be able to keep. I'm sure you would love any income we decide you don't need getting confiscated.

14. The L-Curve says it all.
They have the money we worked to earn. We have the VOTES, if we would ALL only use them.
Hmmm all the money I earn goes to paying bills for me to live. Money that is taken from me by the govt ends up supporting poor people.
I forget who said it but they were right when they said (paraphrased) When people find out they can vote themselves the wealth of others freedom is gone.

You know what dummies its time to grow up and quit worrying that Billy's piece of cake is bigger than yours.
