Gta1 - Please don't take my comment to seriously. It's not what I was trying to say, but that's me. Taxes are not a choice. I pay taxes every freaking year. So if this is the money you find Obama is telling me I have to share........ Well ok. No sweat of my back. If you think Obama is going to raise my taxes, I'd suggest your wrong. But if you're right, that becomes my duty. To many people search for ways to cheat the system. Taxes are our country's revenue. To cheat on taxes is like cheating your country. Honesty and pride may keep me poor, but it'll keep me free.

FYI - Not every rich person has worked hard and not every poor person is lazy.

Ok well i dont remember you and i trading ideas or words, your comment "It's not what I was trying to say, but that's me." im assuming you have an alternate id. So without knowing what your alt id is i wouldnt know what it is you were trying to say.

If you believe that its your duty to hand over more and more of your paycheck , you are so way off base. Nowhere in the constitution does it say being over taxed makes you a good citizen, although the way our constitution is constantly being reinterpreted i could be wrong.

And FYI....HERE IS THE COMENT THAT I MADE......The wealthy who work hard for thier money shouldnt be required to support those who are too lazy to work or those who have less through no fault of thier own...its wrong and should NOT be tolerated.

I clearly said the wealthy WHO work hard....i made no mention of Rockfellers, Kennedys, or the big names who inherited it. and I clearly stated those who are too lazy to work or those who have less through no fault of thier own.

I'm simply tired of those who believe that it is the responsibility of the wealthy and our government to provide for those who dont have anything for whatever thier circumstance. I'm extremely tired of the dems creating class envy, trying to convice people to elect them so they can punish the wealthy by taking thier wealth to "REDISTRIBUTE IT".

I have to agree with that, it is called self governing. that is why the founding  fathers did not create a tyrannical government, be responsible for yourself. if by no fault of your own, you do need a little hand up, well that is what charities are for. without the tax burden more people would give more by choice not force. plus way back your neighbors were there for each other.  when someone lost a house or barn to fire, they came to help rebuild. we have drifted far from the founding fathers ideals. respect, honor, dignity, trust, reputation, community, self reliant, love and duty!

Hey, that's great BD.  Since you consider paying more of your money to bureaucrats to be your "duty", maybe you could kick in a little extra to cover my share of my countries "revenue".  By your way of thinking, you'd get an extra measure of "honesty and pride", plus I'd feel better about not having my money going into the welfare state.  It's a win-win situation.

You can send that check straight to me.  I'll make sure to get it where it belongs.
