That link #3, Squinch is great. Odd that the 3rd biggest beneficiary of federal dollars (per dollar of federal taxes each state pays) is Alaska -- don't they give all their residents an annual bonus of $9,000 or something like that from what they collect from the oil companies in taxes?
RedStateLiberal says: They make that assumption because they are selfish and can't understand why someone would support policies that don't benefit you directly.
Democrats support policies that help those who really need help. The poor. The unemployed. The hungry. The elderly. The sick. You know, like that fellow named Jesus would do.
Yup. I was lucky to inherit the right genes to be very successful in school academically and to earn a degree in a high-paying field and earn 3 times the salary of a close relative that worked just as hard in school but was only a little better than average academically. I feel deeply the bite of a progressive income tax but I'm also a supporter of it because I know at least as much of success is luck as hard work. I feel sorry for some of the goobers I dialog with online - one can tell from their postings that they just aren't very bright or big earners (sometimes that comes out in long dialogs...) and I suspect they are RepubliCONNED because they are mad as heck that some "multicultural" types where they work are doing better than they are.
Sometimes when I'm called "Freeloader" I point out that I pay $20,000 in income and payroll taxes and that's probably a lot more than you do (that said while dialoging with someone who doesn't come across as well endowed in skills, knowledge, and critical thinking skills), and that I feel that you (again that person) are freeloading by paying less taxes than I do.
