The tax system now is ass backwards, I pay 43% because I have no dependent children while some other asshole shits out 6 kids and gets a discount for each one of them? The more kids you have, the more you should have to pay not the less you should pay. Burden the rest of us with your progeny.

I agree

Extra stuff? What like free food, free health care, free housing, free education, free tuition, free cell phones, free transportation? Oh wait they didn't get that, the lowest earners did. So what were you mumbling about extra stuff again? And what do they need protected by the Feds that they don't have insured elsewhere?

First off a lot of those top earners don't even really pay taxes. The head of any number of defense contractors is paid by taxes. Their paycheck is taxes.
But what I was talking about was all the things that top earners use more than lower earners. When some fatcat takes to the air they use more air traffic and runway resources than some dude squeezed into a sardine can of a plane. When two of them sue eachother it takes up way more court resources. This is at both state and national levels. Who do you think hires more lawyers? Rich people or poor people?
Who do you think we went to war for in afgan and iraq? Poor people? Do you really think it was to stop terror? Or was it so rich people could make more money? Who do you think benifits most from good roads? The dude who owns a trunking or retail company or some bum sleeping in a creek?
Who benifits most from cops trying to stamp out drugs instead of catching murderers and rapists? Alcohol pushers and big pharma. Who gets most of the benifit from congress who we pay a pretty penny too. Rich people own congress not poor people.
I could go on and on but you are so married to sucking rich guys off that it would be a bigger waste of my time than this post already was.

So you make about 300k. You SHOULD be happy and shut your piehole about how shitty your life is. As for your question, I don't know that I understand it but it's sounds like you are pissed about being impotent. I can't help you with that.

Everyone hates a lawyer...until they need one.

Then they hate them even more.

So is the farmer who raised the food that was purchased with food stamps.

And you would be wrong. Flying around in a Cessna 180 or G650 uses far less ATC than your Spirit Airlines flight. In fact the Cessna 180 might both take off and land at uncontrolled fields. Not something that a commercial flight would do.

Hires or uses? Sure rich hire more lawyers, but for the lower income the lawyers just take the case and then take all the earnings from the poor. Real nice.

The poor sure benefit from the good roads just as much. The trucking company brings in the food and clothes the poor person purchases or is given. The bum sleeping in the creek is most likely sleeping under a bridge anywho.

Yeah no benefit for the poor when the drug dealers and pushers ruin their neighborhoods and their kids can't get safely to and from school.

Without Congress where would the poor get their free handouts? The poor hold plenty of sway in Congress as long as the Dems are pandering for their votes.

No more so than you are married to sucking off poor or criminals.

Why do you hire shitty lawyers? You must be as stupid in real life as you are on this board.
