24. Yes
"I'm not shedding a tear because a guy who makes 500,000 a year only gets to keep 300,000 of it."

But how do we make that argument to the American people, and especially the "red-staters" that think the government is just "robbing those rich people blind"?

How do you convince people that their piddly little $600 tax-cut has just been sucked up by higher gas prices and inflation?

They've drilled it into peoples heads for so long with the rhetoric "It's your money". Which is partially true, but it is also "Your Services"!
