Waiting your your destruction of my assertion. At least I paid more federal income tax last year than Driller. Did she pay her fair share?
She has repeatedly stated that she has no income. You, however, DO have income. PLUS, you didn't pay your fair share, as I've already shown...

You're only paying less then 1/4 of your fair share.
If money really was the cure for poverty, let us end poverty... forever. Let’s give everyone 22 billion billion quatloos - more than they could ever spend in a lifetime - and then step back and watch.
In short order, civilization would collapse if no one bothers to farm, harvest, labor, mine, produce, trade, transport, serve and sell to others. Remember, everyone has more money than they ever can need, but without anything to buy, that money is useless, worthless, and meaningless.
just a question. have you ever seen a poor person make a good financial decision/investment? do you think it's simply a coincidence that poor people who win the lottery often end up broke again? or are you just for taking wealth from the individuals, and giving it to the government for them to distribute for their own agendas? we all know government makes great investments. what is the end game of higher wages and "income equality?"
Maybe fund a space program, build a system of interstate highways? Dunno. Just spouting pipe dreams...
Not me....I will always find ways to get what I need.....and most of what I want.
Then they'll just have to come and get some more from you...
