		<description>If i get a $600 refund I put it in the bank.  A poorer person would spend it and stimulate the economy.  

If life was really fair you would get paid based on the benefit to society that you create. Affiliate marketing provides little value. 

Also, taxes in the US are some of the lowest of anywhere that you&#039;d want to live.</description>

		<description>Paul - I agree wholeheartedly.  The U.S. government hates success because the majority of the country is composed of unsuccessful people who hate success (it&#039;s called jealousy).

Everyone who thinks that it&#039;s fair to tax the rich more needs to read a book called &quot;Atlas Shrugged&quot; by Ayn Rand.  It&#039;s about what happens to the world when the top 1% - the &quot;atlases&quot; who hold the world on their shoulders - get fed up with the hate and ingratitude they receive from government and from the masses and decide to go on strike.  In addition to this, it&#039;s an excellent moral defense of capitalism - something we don&#039;t see much anymore.  Too many capitalists have accepted a utilitarian code of ethics and don&#039;t know how to properly defend their system anymore... and we wonder why we&#039;re going socialist.  Let me quote from one of the best sections of the book, where a corporate owner is on trial and gives his defense:


&quot;I could say to you that I have done more good for my fellow men than you can ever hope to accomplish-but I will not say it, because I do not seek the good of others as a sanction for my right to exist, nor do I recognize the good of others as a justification for their seizure of my property or their destruction of my life. I will not say that the good of others was the purpose of my work-my own good was my purpose, and I despise the man who surrenders his. I could say to you that you do not serve the public good-that nobody&#039;s good can be achieved at the price of human sacrifices-that when you violate the rights of one man, you have violated the rights of all, and a public of rightless creatures is doomed to destruction. I could say to you that you will and can achieve nothing but universal devastation-as any looter must, when he runs out of victims. I could say it, but I won&#039;t.&quot;

&quot;It is not your particular policy that I challenge, but your moral premise.&quot;

&quot;If it were true that men could achieve their good by means of turning some men into sacrificial animals, and I were asked to immolate myself for the sake of creatures who wanted to survive at the price of my blood, if I were asked to serve the interests of society apart from, above and against my own-I would refuse, I would reject it as the most contemptible evil, I would fight it with every power I possess, I would fight the whole of mankind, if one minute were all I could last before I were murdered, I would fight in the full confidence of the justice of my battle and of a living being&#039;s right to exist. Let there be no misunderstanding about me. If it is now the belief of my fellow men, who call themselves the public, that their good requires victims, then I say: The public good be damned, I will have no part of it!&quot;

Now there&#039;s Truth.  Go read the book - it&#039;ll change your life.</description>

		<description>&gt;Are you kidding me? Corps don’t pay their fair share? We have the second highest corporate taxes in the world.

No they dont. Create enough tax deductions to make your reportable income less than $50K/year.
You then get taxed at 15%.   The rest of the middle class and upperclass will pay 30%-40%.
Shhh...remember congress and the lawmakers know about this...and are utilizing it to the max!</description>

		<description>Both of my parents are poor.  They both feel they are somehow being wronged by one thing or another.  They waste all their energy on this way of thinking and believe me they are not alone.  Are there road blocks on the way to wealth?  Sure.  Does it do you any good to whine about it?  Not that I&#039;ve seen.  Over the last two years I&#039;ve been focused 100% on what I can do about it myself.  Not what the government &quot;owes&quot; me, not what I &quot;deserve&quot; to be given.  I&#039;ve doubled my income.  I&#039;m well on my way to doubling it again.  Love the site, way more useful then the stimulus package in my book.</description>
