what i'm saying is, just because i'm better off than many people out there, it's extremely unfair to say that people like myself and those richer than me should take the burden since "we can afford it". especially when they include their sob story for reasoning. hell, i have a sob story too!

the top 10% already pay more than half of this country's taxes. how the hell is that unfair to the poor?

i understand and i believe that everyone should pay their fair share, whatever that may be.

i also don't think the way to fix a problem is by throwing more money at it (i.e. raising taxes).
