Where do you people come from? I too am happy that I get to keep more of what I make.

I am just tired of the people who bitch and moan about taxes constantly. Taxes are a necessity for running our country. They don't seem to realize that if the didn't pay any taxes, our country would collapse and then they wouldn't be making that money any more.

So under President Bush, we now have a lower percentage of the population without healthcare than under Clinton. Hmmmm.

By a very small margin. Some of those people probably died from lack of care is why the numbers went down, lol.

They choose not to take advantage of getting a education and becoming competitive and being able to afford good healthcare.

If everyone 'moved up the ladder' as i think you are implying, there would be nobody at the bottom to support the upper tiers. Its simply idealism on your part. Many can't afford a good education to make the transition you state. Even if someone is successful and even runs their own company, a severe illness can rise and cause them to go into bankruptcy on health care costs. I know someone in real life that has gone thru this with health care costs going over 1 million dollars.

Sounds to me that your a regular robin hood, steal from the rich and give to the poor. However nice that may seem, it is still stealing.

If you look at it that way....or you could say that because the lower workers aren't being paid their share of the company profits the CEO's are stealing from them. The average CEO makes over 500 times more per year than their lower workers. Thats just insane.
