The rich carry what 95% of the wealth and the poor who make up 95% of the population get 5% if I recall correctly. It's fair to assume most anyone arguing against higher taxation on the rich in fact isn't rich at all and never would be, and wouldn't feel any burden from further taxation only the benefit. All you blue collar workers and lower management white collar and small business owners who cling to being republican so you can feel more succeful than you really are fight and fight and fight against things that have nothing to do with you and will never affect you negatively. NOBODY ON THIS BOARD IS RICH, you are all the poor masses you just happen to be getting by better than others but in reality you're going nowhere and will likely NEVER actually make it into that 5% group that needs higher taxation.
If you aren't sucking down millions stop fighting, you're the people that would benefit from socialized medicine and higher taxes on the truly ritch.
Open your damn eyes and realize you are poor too, republican or not, you'll be lucky to work your entire life and put your kids through a good school and save for retirement on top of that. You better hope you don't have major medical problems or that you aren't laid off or that your kids don't get cancer or your little business doesn't fall because you're walking the same tightrope the poor are.
I'm not suggesting we need more welfare babies and should support deadbeats what I am saying is we are all getting the shaft and you're voting for it.
You've never traveled to other countries and seen what better worry free lives others enjoy. Many countries residents get complete free health care, complete free education including college, etc etc. They don't have to work 3 jobs to send their kids to a good school or have their kids work full time just to go to college at the same time they are supposed to be able to focus on their scooling etc. They have better opportunities than we do, all it takes is the will to do more and go to school.
While nothing is truly free, the cost spread across everyone, with the rich paying a much larger percentage works out way better than what we have here. We are mistreated slaves by comparison.
If you want to make millions and keep it all and say fuck the rest of the world, let them die and suffer, then there are places like Liberia. I'm sure you could hire an army to protect your mansion there.
