Ma'am;... The people have been saying too much for a long time.... The more they pay, the less they get... But they might pay more if they could get more from government....Is that ever offered as an option; to have more, and pay more???? Not really.... The rich inspire the poor to complain about taxes, but it is the rich who benefit from low taxes.... The fact is, this country was founded on the property tax...That is why property rights have such an abundance of protection in this country....When the income tax was first made constitutional, it affected a fraction of the population, perhaps ten to thirteen percent.... Now fifty percent of the people pay income tax, and virtually all would if wages were not deliberatly depressed....But the fact is clear, that the burden of supporting the country has been loaded onto the backs of working people who already support tthe society with their labor.... The rich can evade taxes, and the poor cannot pay taxes, so who is left but the dwindling middle class??? So, they cry: Enough.... But the load on working people keeps getting heavier... The rich don't cry.... They write tax laws.... They buy elections...They pay lobbyists and lawyers to find or write loopholes.... What it means is the rich get richer, and the government is starved for cash, and must borrow from the very rich who evade taxes.... If the economy did not melt down as a result, everything would still be grand.... Of course, our infrastucture and health care systems would have still been in ruin.... Millions of boomers would still be facing old age without pensions....But why the economy melted is because the government did not seek justice for the working class, and because it did not force the wealth of the rich back into circulation.... So enough of taxes on the poor... Let us bleed the rich as they have bled us; to the last drop.... And consider...If we needed to reform the gtovernment tomorrow, we would still have to tax the rich.... They are the only problem we cannot solve with a stimulus bill....We need to demand justice for ourselves, and settle for nothing less.... We suck up the rich.... We all work hard, and play the lotto because we want to be rich.... But we should consided the damage the rich do to society.... We have to give up sucking up, and begin taking back this nation's wealth.... You seem to think the government is the problem; and I will agree.... They support the rich in their thieving, so they should both go into history together.... We cannot expect to change both the rich and the government...In fact, we will change neither...Both need to be replaced....Thanks...Sweeney
