So on top of my 15 hour days, you want me to work more to help make a "better" america by raising my taxes, thereby increasing my work hours even more to compensate me for my risks..

Maybe I'm a skeptic, but perhaps you can explain to me how you manage to put in 15 hour work days and still manage to average 22 forum posts DAILY.

Seek help, your anger is irrational and hate is a destructive emotion, but only to its owner.

Not as irrational as your blindness.

If you can't see past your partisan blinders to acknowledge that Obama set a very dangerous precedent for our democracy then you are the one who needs help.
