You are always saying you are in a top tax bracket but I doubt you are. Not by the way you talk and how you think. You sound more like a poor person grubbing for someone else's money. But since you insist, if you are so anxious to give your money away to the government cut a check. You've been told to write a check before but I doubt you have. You're all talk and no action. A typical liberal wanting to rob other people.

And "a wonderful life" for those on the dole shows your complete ignorance of what "the dole" provides.

Now practice what you preach... go write a check and send it to the government.

What you greedy "tax em more" people don't get is because of this money grubbing Obama administration what I (and many like me) are doing is hoarding money instead of spending it. Why, because I'm just not going to bust my butt anymore.

It would be hard to tell where a person really is.

If we are talking income........I am on the bottom.

Yet.......I have a lot of assets.

So am I.

The day Obama was elected I started pulling out of banks.

I really was not going to make any major purchases while he was in office........then he was elected again.

I had to buy a few things.

Before the 2012 I considered buying a car but decided to wait until after the election. After Obama was elected I decided against buying. A month ago I again considered it, was at dealers then I thought nah, I'll pass. Even though I am careful with my money Obama's been a great discouragement for spending it and my money situation is better for it.

I also considered hiring a part timer but nah, I'm pushing it and will wait.
