If that is the case, then why do rich republicans bitch about their taxes?

That is what is called instant shut the fuck up.

2. That's a good one...
I also tell them that if you don't use it, it goes bad. So speaking out keeps freedom alive.

12. "Support the Troops" Magnets are actually 1040 EZ Form holders
Didn't you know that? Because Federal Income Tax Revenues, not magnetic bumper stickers are what REALLY support the troops.

16. Freedom cannot be given or bestowed by any government, only taken away.
They have apparently never studied the Enlightenment thinkers whose works underlie the Founders' Constitution.
