etc, etc..

That's all fine, we have to pay a certain amount of tax, but overly punishing the rich is NOT what America is about. Developing a system that says if you work your ass off all your life and make $2 million a year we are going to take $1,300,000, (65%) of it in taxes to fund entitlement programs is bullshit.

The democrats believe in MORE spending and entitlement programs, which in-turn leads to more taxing.

I'm not sure if you made it past the 3rd grade, but I'm sure you've heard the phrase, 'America is the land of opportunity'.

America has always been about fewer government benefits but vastly greater economic opportunity and social mobility. Something uneducated leaches who want to live off the system might not understand.

Go look at wealth in other countries, especially Europe, over 70% of wealth is frequently the product of birth or inheritance. In America, by contrast, every city abounds with immigrants who came to the United States with nothing and now run thriving businesses with dozens, if not hundreds, of employees. Most successful people in this country have earned their own money.

I think it's funny you blurt out opinions without understanding the implications of them.

I do understand the implications. I made them on purpose. I do not apologize for them.
