Since the top 1 % pays nearly 40% of all taxes, and the top 10% pay 70% of all taxes, I think we will be JUST fine.

It is SAD that you continue to think the deal is to TAX, TAX, TAX. How about we WORK, WORK, WORK, and obtain the American Dream. There are still 10 shitloads of opportunities for folks that want to work HARD for it.

I have an Indian friend who works 60 hrs a week as an IT developer and takes every single PENNY and puts it into the 3 subway sandwich places HE PURCHASED...he's living the American dream. He's 100k in debt, PAYS his BILLS, and has nearly 20 employees.

He came here with a SKILL someone was WILLING to pay for.......

He works 60 hrs at Work and then another 50 hrs at his shops. WORKS HIS ASS OFF, but in 20 years he will be set for life.

GET OFF YOUR ASS, and invest in something, instead of whining about how the American Dream is out of your grasp.
