I think you're better served presenting your opinions as... opinions.

Yes, people like you -- I don't think you're a "taker" -- that's the other side talking, not mine. I just love how that 51 percent figures gets thrown out there with no futher analysis: age, gender, current employment, etc., etc. Details, details.

I would be glad to discuss methodology....it is not rocket science....

Although it is very comon to take things out of context, use correlations..a little bit of knowledge is indeed dangerous...

Most Americans Favor Tax Increases On Wealthy

That's because they do not understand that tax increases does not change the habits of the wealthy and so therefore will do absolutely no good. Tax increases only whittles down the middle man and increases the poor man population.

What would work, is take away the wealthy's government subsidies.

I'm in that 51% group and willing to pay "my share" when all of those takers begin to pay as well. I go through GREAT lenghts to avoid taxes and changing the tax code isnt going to subject me and others like me to paying one dam cent more than we currently pay.
