58. And here's her ideological brother from the same page
"I am nowhere close to being in the highest income tax bracket, but I still lament the amount of federal and state income taxes that I must involuntarily surrender with each paycheck.
I do not view these as necessary investments in the community. Individuals should have the right to spend their entire earnings as they see fit rather than having the government spend some of it.
I am in my 20s and upwardly mobile. It disturbs me that as I become more successful and make more money, the government says it's just fine to take an even greater bite out of wealth generated from a service I provide to my employer.
The left-wing attitude is that I should take my medicine and turn over this money since I can more easily afford it. Liberals and the Minnesota DFL promote this never-ending class envy and enact punitive tax laws for those who are most successful in life."

Look for the heading "It's my money."

Good Lord, are these overgrown brats the result of Reagan-era parenting?
