I spent years in school earning a graduate degree that required a student loan and I started a business, I work very hard. As my business grows, my income increases and my taxes go up, but so does my lifestyle. The burden is how much you suffer in trying to make ends meet on your after tax income. As I work my way up the tax brackets, I pay more because I have more, and I suffer less than many struggling middle class people.
The conservatives who post always talk about the welfare class, and completely ignore the hard working middle class americans struggling to pay the mortgage, and the rest of life's basic expenses.

"The U.S. remains the largest E&M market, growing at a 5.6 percent compound annual growth rate reaching $726 billion in 2010," said James O'Shaughnessy, U.S. Leader of PricewaterhouseCoopers Entertainment & Media practice. "Video games and the Internet will be the fastest-growing segments, with compound annual increases of 8.9 and 8.4 percent, respectively. Video games will be propelled by next generation console games and rapid growth in online and wireless games, while increased broadband penetration will enhance Internet access spending and stimulate online advertising."

And
The vast majority of mortgages in America are paid on time, 90% or thereabouts.
You read what you want to read. I said nothing of the sort.
Further, if you feel good about paying more then you should take the advice of other posters and send a donation to the IRS. Just don't ask me to be as generous. I donate my time and money the way I see fit. I don't appreciate for a second the attitude that I'm somehow responsible for someone else's decisions.
I never said you said anything, so I don't know what you are referring to. I made a comment about what see conservatives posting, but that wasn't directed at you, it was a general statement.
I pay what I'm required to and I don't whine about it, or pretend that I'm suffering when I'm not. I understand that taxes are a part of being a citizen of a civilized country. I understand that as I have more in life I will pay more, I'm a part of a society. The people who are paying less than me support my business, and other people's businesses, if they have no money while I hoard it all, the businesses fail. People don't seem to understand that we are one country of intertwined people, we are not individual islands.
your nickname tells me alot, what will you do when there is not anymore people for you to steal money from in the form of taxation?
what will you do when there is no more a way to fund the liberal failure experiment?
Forget it, people like him will never be reached, too many people from all sides feel "owed". I feel the only way this arugment is gonna stop is when "the system" comes crashing down.

That's an honorable attitude, and again, you are free to donate every dime to the treasury that you don't need. In fact, everyone with your attitude would do a great service to the nation if you'd just pony up the trillions and leave the rest of us out it who had no part it creating the problem.
