I worked my ass off to the point that I had to have quadruple bypass at 45. Being as focused and driven as I was, I sacraficed a freakin lot the magnitudeof which I am really only now beginning to comprehend. I pay krap tons of taxes, multiple tens of thousands of dollars of real tax. I have spent most of my life working 80+ hour weeks for months in some sh@thole town in the middle of nowhere, or some sh@thole country. My fault, I chose what I chose, there was a forever amount of time, until there wasn’t. How many hours of my day, week, or year is my “fair share”. Why am I obligated to take care of those who do not plan or perpetually make bad decisions? Why am I obligated to pay for your abortion because you can’t walk 5 feet without throwing your legs behind your skull and injecting some random guys herpes encrusted phallus. I aint doing you. Why are others entitled to my time and effort, and the fact that they get paid from my blood sweat and tears while they contribute nothing of any positive value to society besides wasting resources and creating pollution and spewing out children that eventually turn into criminals because of bad parenting, how is this in any universe fair?

In total..meaning all taxes..I pay over 50% of my earnings...in taxes...I don't want to know the exact number...it would just piss me off more than I'm pissed off now.
Rant appropriate....THANK YOU
