[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feel secure, your liberal card is not going to be revoked.  Like all other liberals, you believe "rich people" should be taxed so that the government can help  "the poor."

You're just admitting what other liberals won't--that by "rich people" what you really mean is "anyone richer than me."  And by "the poor" you mean "me, and anyone poorer than me."

This is actually what ALL liberals believe, though they don't like to admit it: I want the government to give me lots of cool stuff (free healthcare, great schools, free/low cost college & grad schools, good transit, safe communities with awesome free libraries and rec centers, a generous retirement system so I really only have to work for about 30 of my 90 years on the earth, free time off for sickness/child rearing, a cushy job where I don't have to work very hard, great housing whether I can personally afford it or not),  and I want somebody else to pay for it.

It's a great system while it lasts, but eventually you run out of other people's money.  With clever accounting and massive borrowing from foreign countries, we're keeping the charade going a bit longer in America.  But we'll find ourselves in the same place as Greece, Spain, Italy within a decade or so if we don't wise up.

Hi.  MoCo liberal here.  We make in the (very) low six figures.  And I'm fine with the new tax increase.  Yes, it will hurt.  But I can take the hit better than those making less than me, and I see that needed to get the services that I believe the government should provide.  Sorry to burst your bubble.  Feel free to believe that I'm an outlier, if you'd like.[/quote]
