That's not an excuse for upper-income folks to not pay their fair share. We're fighting over crumbs and there are allocations for 'entitlements' and other benefits and programs which have nothing at all to do with war. In fact, our major expense is entitlements. We need to find revenue somewhere and it shouldn't come in the form of cuts to the programs and benefits average income Americans rely on.
