You are an idiot.

Right, the guy who produces something and pays for all the rest of you is
the idiot. Hey, wait a second ...





We all invest in and support the infrastructure that allows the
enterprising to profit from their good ideas and industry.

No, you ****ing don't. I pay far more than I use. Far, far, far more.




Those that profit extraordinarily owe it back to the system in equal
measure.

Spoken like a true collectivist.




You greedy sons of bitches that never learned to share are the problem.

Again I'm rendered nearly speechless after paying six figures' worth of
tax (that's *just* income tax and *just* federal) and being called
"greedy".


Voting against your own interests with the fantasy that you'll be taxed
at an extraordinary rate someday.

I'm taxed at an extraordinary rate *today*. And no politician I've seen
represents *my* interests.


My problem with your party's dimwitted sophomore-dorm-bull-session-
redistributionism isn't primarily one of self-interest. If the pols
steal a few grand more from me, I'll be annoyed but I'll live.

It's the idea - embodied by your angry insistence that you're entitled to
what I earn - that there's a bottomless pit of treasure to take from,
that dampening the incentive to produce will somehow not decrease
production. The idea that it's justified to ratchet up spending
regardless of the economy - to jack up taxes when times are good, spend
it like a drunk sailor on programs which insanely grow on autopilot, then
being surprised every time when a waning economy means decreasing
revenue, then tying another bad of cement to the horse and - *more*
surprise when the horse doesn't speed up.

Your ideology isn't fueled by pragmatism, or economic reality. It's
fueled by anger, envy, and what I can only assume is a very sense of self-
worth and fear that you'll never amount to anything.


Not gonna happen silly ass.

Right, because you know.
