You're a crappy tipper. I would urinate in your food and rub your steak on my arse if you ate in my restaurant.


Come to think of it, my steak was a little bitter and I had a side order of corn that I didn't order.

Well....you can go ahead and " refuse " all you want...but guess what.

You aren't going to have a choice in the matter. If you make more than 250K....yer in it whether you like it or not.

Unless, of course, you decide to move to Canada or something.


Canada, what a great idea! All the wealthy people will move to Canada and leave the poor people here and THEN they will HAVE to work, right?





Wow, Tia...that seemed quite snobby! I think the big issue here is the misconception that "poor people" don't work. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but I bust my a$$ every week to earn money, and I still can't afford a pot to pee in!

So while you are saying that poor people don't work, I'd like to inform you that just because some people are rich doesn't mean they work their a$$e$ off for what they have either! Perfect example is Paris Hilton...the chick hasn't worked a day in her whole life! The little princess probably doesn't even know how to check her oil in her car! So don't spew a load of crap saying rich people are the only ones who work, because that's BS and everyone knows it!

Now do I think people should get a free ride and not have to work for it? No, absolutely not. I'm just saying that it seems the rich get seem to get better padding...not only from their extra money, but in tax breaks, etc. That's all...

Read ALL of the posts of mine and the conversation that preceeds and follows, then comment. You shouldnt just pick one part of a conversation - it throws everything out of context.

Thanks Gio,

This does get pretty tiring (you know what I mean). I will always hold my ground, though.

Some people think they have had a hard time in their lives, well, until you have had to be locked in a room in an Arab country, beat to hell, try to escape, eventually end up escaping but with only one of your children, come back to the US (kiss the ground upon arrival), live in extreme poverty, fight, fight, fight, and eventually get where I am on the right track and keep heading that direction, no one has the right to tell me it is not possible to better themselves. It is hard work, and that's just it, many people are not strong enough to handle it.

Then, to have people telling me that I need to give more than 3 times the taxes they are paying to help support them and their families, it is pretty ridiculous.

Not much time for the forum since I have been re called back to my job in the auto indistry so I didnt scroll back on all these comments, did anyone raise the issue of the tax payer bailout of wall street and if so, it should have been raised by the same folks who deplore taxes.

Tina,
I would never imply that you or anyone should be required to do anything to help people. I wouldn't want to be "forced" to give up my hard earned money to anyone either. And I don't agree that people should loaf around on welfare, drinking in government funds just for the sake of being lazy....but there are people who DO work hard and still need assistance.

And to help out others in basic human to human caring about each other, I would like to think that most would want to donate some of their good fortune by giving to those in need...now that comes from my Christian upbringing, but that is probably heading off on a tangent...

And yes, compared to your for instance of being in trapped or held hostage in another country, most people here in the US don't have it quite that bad. But there are some people who struggle all their lives to get out of poverty and the lowest possible cards that they were handed about where they were born and such, and still never make it. And yes, their situation might be changable in certain cicumstances, but it's just not always possible.
