am tired of hearing about class warfare. Rich vs. poor. I came from a low income household where we all lived paycheck to paycheck and did what we could to survive. I am not too far above that level now but am much better than i was. I lived with out running water for 2 months because it took us that long to save up to buy a new water pump and I had to learn how to install it myself. I got tired of living like that so I got up and did something about it. I am now planning to start my own business and go back to school for business. How am I paying for classes? One paycheck and class at a time. There are only a few percentage of people in the US born into money when you compare it to the people who go and give their blood, sweat and tears into becoming something better. You wanna know how the G men got the people to pass income taxes? They made the poor pissed off at the rich... class warfare. But hard work is lost on our generation. Everyone one wants something for nothing. How exactly do the rich pay less taxes? Whenever someone increases their earnings they are moved into a higher tax bracket, meaning they pay MORE taxes. At my job now, I pay out around $350 bi weekly for income tax. If I work more than 16 hours overtime, which is often because my regular schedule gives me automatic overtime, I have paid upwards of $425 or more. So I think the less you make, the less you contribute to the society. Now with that said, I do hate corporate cronyism. When you have large companies paying politicians to make laws in their favor, then there is definitely something wrong. That is why industrial hemp is illegal because big oil and big pharmaceutical companies pay millions to keep it that way. That is what is wrong with our system. If you want true freedom you can't crap on free enterprise, just get rid of the cronies. Politicians definitely are not going to give it to you. We have to unite and demand freedom. Its also funny that the swine flu "epidemic" started around the same time congress is trying to pass a national health care bill. YAY! Lets all be government dependents and voluntarily give up our freedom. Politicians don't want weed legal because it helps people become more of a free thinker. Why do you think Nixon started the drug war? The hippies back in the day demanded freedom and free thinking, which led to protests against the government and their backward dealings. Why do you think the US has the worst education system among the industrialized countries? Because they want us to be dumb and not think on our own. Why is everything on the news negative? Because it leads to depression and a depressed society, which in turn makes us better sheep. Weird Al Yankovic sang it best..."Everything you know is wrong."
