[QUOTE="SoonerATC, post: 1581549, member: 9576"] You can't honestly believe a word of what you just said. The less you EARN, the more you RECEIVE from the government. Here's a pretty depressing thought - the only reason 90% of the people who are even AWARE of the debt ceiling saga care about what happens, is because they receive some form of income from the government. Modern American society has become dependent on the government for their livelihood. I heard a woman call into Rush Limbaugh today who said if she doesn't receive her social security check next month, she will "lose [I]everything[/I]". Really? How the hell do you end up in a situation of being ABSOLUTELY dependent on the government? Do you not have family? Church? Friends? People like her have more problems in their lives than simply receiving a social security check. It's a state of mind that John Boehner can't fix and Barack Obama takes advantage of. I didn't say eliminate taxes - I said relax them. On another note, tell me why it is fair for two people to pay two different tax rates? Why should Person A be taxed at 35% and Person B be taxed at 10%? The harder I work, the more successful I am, the more I have to pay to support those who don't? [/QUOTE]
