Liberals think that it’s better to take $135,000 from someone who makes half a million a year than it is to take anything from a working mom who makes minimum wage. I could live on $364,000 a year, after federal income taxes. Couldn’t you?

Who is he kidding? After state income taxes, FICA, and sales taxes, that $364,000 is probably closer to $250,000. And no one gets government services worth anywhere close to $250,000/year. And the arrogant presumption that he displays, that the $500K somehow materialized out of thin air rather than being accumulated through hard work and initiative. That minimum-wage mom absolutely should be paying a 10% flat tax - let the burden fall upon every citizen, or else suspend the privileges of citizenship until such time as the individual can pay their fair share (that's what "fair share" means, liberals!!!).

I shouldn't read this stuff in the morning......twits like this make my blood boil.
