I'm thinking that you don't spend much time representing "the poor".

No, but I spent a lot of time being "the poor," though. Does that count?

And that makes you the God appointed representative of The Poor? I myself grew up in poverty and everything that I have was not given to me. I 100% support the right to work hard and have the chance to accumulate enough to have financial security without having the Government deny me that by taxing the crap out of me in an apparent effort to ensure that none of my progeny get to college or for me to have an actual retirement.

A lot of people that actually did grew up poor as opposed to spoiled MC and UMC people who can only imagine what it is like to grow up without advantages feel exactly as I do.

Some posters here need to become more evolved and let go of the chip on their collective shoulders that they obviously have against those that have striven to rise above their beginnings. All this 'tax high earners' nonsense, is just a smoke screen raised by the Actual Rich Establishment to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

Bring on the flat tax on all types of income!
