Quote:The bottom 50% of workers pay nothing, or actually get more back than they pay in.My frying pan is less hot. How nice.I'm not picking sides here. All of the politicians are complicit in feeding the beast. Oh, and to clarify, I still am convinced the WMD were in Iraq at one point. I was not in favor of the occupation, and the nation building portion we were sucked into. Then again, perhaps you shouldn't break it if you don't want to buy it.
Don't forget that your (the US people's) lifestyle (extreme consumption pattern) has been made possible by all that debt you have. The rich (those poor people that pay so much taxes) benefit from every bottle of coke you buy...even when you can't afford it. They maintain their exaggerated life styles and nobody minds (because it is the American dream and therefor not very patriotic to complain about that).
I hope you realize that not you (the American people) are the one that can complain.....you consume too much and don't have the money for it. Any idea who is going to pay that in the end??
