Meaning, 650,000 people out of 307 million worked their ass off or got lucky in business and made the money themselves. That's roughly 1-500 Americans who made it through hard-work, being smart, and creating jobs or opportunity. So let's piss these people off and take away their incentive, good ideas, and opportunity by taxing them more.

It sickens me to watch what Americans have become. It use to be an embarrassment in this country to get a "hand-up", but now most want a handout or feel some sort of entitlement or have a delusional reason for one.
