How come all the dead beats confiscating all the money don't have any money?
The government is broke, the middle class is broke, but the rich who are complaining about how onerous their tax burden is just keep getting richer. "They're overtaxing me, their unions are making me pay inflated wages, their regulations are curbing growth and expansion, and that's why I only made a 100 Million last year. A measly 100 million because of the the oppressive system and rampant confiscation going on."

What a bizzaro country we've become: where the more money one keeps at the end of the year, the more entitled one is to complain about how the system is rigged against him.

1. Hey we're dumb enough to think the rich have taxes to pay!
In bizzaro country the rich are looking for TAX CREDITS so that the rest of us pay taxes in order for their trickle of gold can hit us straight in the face.

2. John Kenneth Galbraith said it best...
"The problem is that the rich don't have enough money, while the poor have too much."
