I'm a proud "tax and spender" but I'm willing to say that I have some sympathy for your situation. A 40% tax burden would be pretty close to most people's breaking point.

I think it all depends on what you are getting for that 40%.  If we were getting national health insurance I'd happily pay 40%.  On the other hand, OP is not even using the public schools, or apparently any other services, so she is getting frustrated.[/quote]

Yes, but PP used public schools to help her reach her half-million dollar salary.  PP stated that she credits her achievement to great teachers and her hard work ethics.  Who does she think paid for those great teachers, taxpayers.  How did PP get back and forth to those public schools with those great teachers?  Was it on the back of a horse or donkey on a unpaved dirt road.  No.  She traversed back and forth to school on paved roads and fortified bridges that were built with tax payers money.

PP also stated that she was able to attend school due to student loans and perhaps pell grants.  Her student loan is at a record low interest rate.  Romney wants to not only raise the current interest rate that she pays, but make it harder for young people to go to school.  Romney said to borrow the money from your parents.  PP keeps thinking that she did it all alone with just her work ethics, but somebody before her paid their taxes to make a way for her to earn her 500k.  That somebody was both a low earning tax payer of 50k and a high earning tax payer of 500k.  [/quote]
