He said nothing about being rewarded for himself. He is just referring to living on what he earns without the government all up in his wallet.
Oh please. welcome to reality. Pretty much every country in the world is this way. And heres a shocker for him-the US has some of the lowest effective rates in the developed world. Only Turkey, Chile, and Mexico are lower.

The government is just representative of the people who put them there.
If it seems like they are punishing you, then the country is full of people who are OK with this system.
You will never be able to itemize the services you use, but we spending way to much needlessly.
Anyone ever give any thought to the fact that those on welfare and gimme, gimme from Government are voting from a "conflict-of-interest" position? These people expect working people to pay their taxes which now include higher taxes in order to pay the welfare to those not earning their way by taking responsibility for themselves.
Food for thought! We can't take their vote away, so the alternative is to make a way for them to take responsibility for themselves. Welfare and any give away should be in the hands of entities at local levels...never Federal or State governments and very little in County and less in City. Only locals know who really needs help and why!
Did you really just send some info supporting the Bush tax rates? The chart is from 2008. LOL...
I can find more recent ones as well. Guess what? We're still among the lowest. Nothing I have said is supporting the Bush tax rates. Mix those in with the resulting "Bush deficits". Yeah. then add in a massive recession, and you begin to understand why Cheney saying "deficits don't matter" in a time of prosperity really harmed our country.

Ah yes, the rallying cry of those who want to see individual states or even cities battle it out for a race to the bottom.

No argument from me on the deficit angle. They are never good.
Whatever updated info you find, our rates will be higher.
