[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been poor and I have been rich. Not once when I was poor did I think that the rich owed me anything. Not once when I was poor did I think that the rich should have to pay 50% of their income in taxes as many on this board seem to be advocating. Not once when I was poor did I resent the rich because they had more money than I did. Hell, I wanted to make that kind of money myself And I did what was necessary to get myself out of poverty. I do not understand the anger, the hatred, the envy and the greedy grab for money simply because someone makes the arbitrary decision that a certain income is too much.[/quote]

Because you came from a time and a family that asked you to work your hardest to make the best of yourself. Most kids whine about going to grade school and parents whine they are overworked in school.  If I complained about school my parents said work harder. Not go in and say little Johnny is overworked. Can not concentrate. Please help him. Ugh!!  There is a middle ground here people and it isn't the rich having to shell out half their earnings.  There IS a way out from poverty. Many just choose not to explore and try.  The system will supplement you so long as you meet their criteria. Instead of doing a scale on taxes, lets do a scale on welfare. You get 100% one year, 80% another and force wean them in 5 years. Oh and let's stop deductions in taxes or increases in welfare after 4 kids. Stop popping babies out if you can not afford them.
