The rugged right-wing, libertarian type...

[barnabas63]

I notice that the people who most support right-to-work, are no-increase-in-minimum-wage types, and who whine about the taxes they pay are the first ones to talk tough. "People who don't get paid much aren't worth it," according to them. "You get what you deserve." "Don't take mine."

These are people who are the angriest, and act so victimized by the bad, bad government. So I pointed out to one of them who was particularly whiny -- maybe YOU are where you are because of YOU'RE choices, and maybe YOU get what YOU deserve by having to pay "higher" taxes. Why are people like that so "tough" when it comes faulting others for their hardships, and have such a skewed view of their own "sacrifices?" This person owns a small business. I don't know how much he makes, or what his taxes are, but obviously things are sooooo hard because of his financial burdens.

How about - if you don't want to participate in society and pay your share (even if you don't think it's completely fair) than take your freedom of choice, which you swear everyone has, and go somewhere else??

I haven't heard back yet from him. Has anyone else ever noticed how these "tough" crybabies are the biggest "victims?"

1. Yes barnabas, I've not only noticed but continued to be

sickened by their logic. I've suggested to more than one of them that The Unabomber managed to live off the grid for years. Perhaps they should find themselves a cabin in the middle of nowhere and do the same if they can not see themselves as part of a community.

2. it's affluenza--and the psychologists who diagnosed it say the only cure is prison

3. Perhaps you should point out that when the republicans cut corporate income tax rates, they didn't

really do anything for the little guy. You pay the same starting tax rate if you make 75k per year or 75 million per year. That's pretty messed up, especially when you consider many of the tax write-offs are for those making closer to 75 million per year. Tell him if he wants to complain about something, complain abut the political party he votes for taking his taxes and giving the to his competition.
