re: #876 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

I work for a huge corporation.

I make a good living (not 250, but a good living)…

I work a commission only, sometimes 80 hour work week. (not including being gone from home a minimum of three nights per week)…

If I get to 250,000.00 per year, I do not feel it appropriate that I am vilified. I will be earning every fucking penny.

I know several people in the over 250 crowd. You know what? They work their asses off.

Why do feel it is appropriate for them to be taxed to pay for someone who doesn’t sacrifice the way that they do?

I know a lot of people who work their asses off for a whole lot less. We can argue taxes from a lot of angles, but the idea that making more money is directly correlated to working harder seems very dubious to me.
