You couldn't be more wrong, Donal.
I have paid federal income taxes almost my entire adult life (28%).
.... but not any more??
I have paid FICA as well to the
tune of 13% of my earnings. I pay a 7.5 percent sales tax on everything I
but in Florida except
for groceries. I pay a registration fee for my boat which is just another
tax. I pay sin taxes on
the alcohol I drink and on the cigars I smoke. I pay taxes on the fuel I
buy and I pay taxes
on the roads I use. The small sum I have managed to sock away for
retirement even has the
paltry interest it makes taxed.
So, if income tax was raised, then there would be less pressure to raise sin
and sales taxes. Wouldn't this be of benefit to you?
I'm doing way way more than the term 'fair share' implies. More than half
the money I make is
taken away from me and used to stuff a bunch of other peoples pockets.
It's wrong, wrong
wrong. And now you bunch of pimple-faced liberals are demanding I give
what little money
remains to away to a bunch of losers on the other side of the world. Where
were those loser
when I was broke and needed a handout.
Why were you broke? A true conservative should be prepared for misfortune.
It sounds like you were unprepared for your unlucky streak.
Did they give a crap about my plight? Hell no.
This is a typical liberal "whinge". A real sailor takes charge of his own
destiny. A real conservative takes responsibility for his own destiny - and
needs no pity from anybody.
Regards
Donal
