That is a EXCELLENT Statement.
And the, 'takers' say, to the 'makers', 'Get to work'.
Just so they can, 'take' more.
who do you think the "takers" are??
you mean takers like GM, or one of the other 27 "billion" dollar profit makers that didn't pay any taxes?
takers like hedge fund managers that pay 15% or less because they don't "work" for a living?
takers like people who get the Earned Income Credit and Mortgage deduction and end up getting money from the government?
oh and who are the "makers" people LIKE ME who pay my taxes and have NEVER taken anything from the government (as in food stamps or other actual checks)
or for you are "makers" only those that hire others and "create" jobs?
Based on everything you said, you're certainly not a taker.
So, while I understand that SOME corporations seem to be allowed to fluorish while others are taxed and regulated down, and the chosen ones make profit from sales and Still get billions back that they didn't put in,
Well, it's old, I'm tired of it, it's just a darnedable mess,
With the thousands of pages of tax code, odds are against us doing more than air grievances, pointing out injustices,
And there are many.
The income tax itself is an affront to a free society.
