That always blows my mind when talk turns to "government handouts to the rich" The government isn't handing out anything. They are just stealing LESS from people.

Anyway, that's my take on it. I paid almost $100,000 in taxes this last year and I'm very unhappy about doing that. Especially in these hard economic times. I need every penny that I earn. And I don't need to be sending it out to the U.S. govt. to waste.
