My rant for the day

[mutt]

Seems half of all Americans pay no income tax. Glad that huge god-damn check I mailed to the IRS today could help support them...

I realize some people are poor and just need a break, but half of our country pays nothing while the rest of us hard working schmucks flip the bill? There are just too many entitlement programs in this country and too many worthless deadbeats standing in line to suck it all up.

OK, bitch session over...

I'm probably in that tax bracket that supposedly pays nothing in taxes, but I'm positive that I get more taken out of my check each year than I get back at the end of the year.

I don't even have issue with those who actually work but qualify for tax credits and such. I mean it does bring up a philosophical question of 'tax fairness', but at least you actually work and support yourself. My biggest beef is with the percentage that just suck up welfare, food stamps and such, pay no taxes, and then actually get a refund... Give me a fucking break.

I feel your pain.

First of all, I don't want to be that poor.

Second, I just detest all of the waste in federal spending and all of the give away programs to those that don't work.
