   Amen brother. Also, I take exception with his statement, tax the most   
   productive citizens, the rich. The most productive citizens are line   
   workers in factories, constructions workers that builds your home,   
   even ditch diggers are rather productive. Get off your high horse,   
   rich people. Many non-business owners, non-college graduates are way   
   more productive than rich people, especially versus the money they   
   get. Rich build their empires on the back of productive poor people   
   that make a fraction of what the rich make. Also, many rich just   
   inherit their money, they don't work for it. and that was one of the   
   tax cuts, inheritance tax cuts. How productive are the hilton sisters.   
   Well, it depends on what you mean by production. So STFU, conservative   
   rich pricks and dig deep in your greedy pockets, yes RAISE TAXES on   
   the rich, absolutely. I make very little money and i'm still not   
   greedy enough to whine about a 5% raise in taxes taken out of my   
   income check if it happened and I guarantee that 5% of my income means   
   more to me then 5% of a rich persons income. That is the difference,   
   greedy or not greedy. It is as simple as that.
