Fuckin idiot in today's paper...
http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20100101/GPG0603/1010557/1271/GPG06/Election-can-t-come-too-soon

Tax the rich, tax the producer, tax the homemaker, tax the working. Oh, but we won't tax you if you make less than $x. Yeah, that was sold when taxes were created decades ago. It was only supposed to hit the rich.

Why do the rich have to pay for what everyone should pay? We're in a deep recession, the worst since 1929. However, in 1932 Congress raised taxes to increase their revenue and gave us the Great Depression.

Health-care legislation raises taxes and punishes a whole sector of the economy. We have dishonest, criminal thieves in Congress greasing palms, stuffing pockets and stealing us blind. It's time to get some real people in there from the real world.

2. So, basically they are saying shift the tax burden to those who can't afford it?
That's smart.

4. Fucking Assholes don't know their history...
The rich paid very low or no taxes at all and hoarded their ill-gotten wealth...

Education in this country has gone downhill... really bad.
