continue to vote ourselves new taxes to pay for the people who need it, but we'll never take to task the people who allow the 99 percent to be raped by the one percent who pay no taxes, which is the real reason we (the 1 percent) have to pay such high taxes.

Are we 8 people the only ones who care about our childrens future? I don't want my kids slaving for 7 months out of the year to pay taxes the corporations refuse to pay, yet sitting by doing nothing but saying... well someone has to pay them, is doing exactly that. It's easy to say we love our kids, but throwing their future away sure as hell isn't showing them.
