My "fair share" is already 1/3 of my income. Half the people in this country pay zip. That's the height of unfairness.[/quote]

You realize half the people in this country make less than $48K a year right.  15% live in poverty which is less than $21k for a family of four.  Let's say you make 300K, should they pay 7K of their income and be left with 14K because so you don't t have to pay 2% more?  It's hard to feel bad for you (or me, because we have a lot of money, but understand we're rich because we live and were educated in America, yes we worked hard but people work hard all over the world and don't get to have what we have).  I'm not jealous of you, I think you lack empathy and compassion. [/quote]

So now our tax structure should be based on what YOU believe is empathy and compassion? How about we stop using tax dollars to kill babies, that's empathy and compassion. This so called moral argument that you must give more to the governement to show compassion is bullshit. I'd rather give more to Catholic Charities (I'm not even Catholic but they do great work), or the Red Cross or some other charitable organization that actually uses it, not overpaid DC federal workers who churn it down and waste it. This empathy argument is so straw man. [i]YOU[/i] give more, give half of your income to the American government because you have more empathy than me, that's fine. See how well they spend it. It boggles my mind that after hundreds of years people still believe that the government is the best allocator of resources. Look at how the government has fucked up year on year on year. The government does not create wealth. Period.  [/quote]
