I agree that if one works hard, one should get to keep what they make, however, we do all need to pay our fair share.
One of the main reasons I don't go to the movies, pay for cable TV or even go to concerts or sporting events is because the people who would profit don't need any more of my hard earned money. On the flip side, while atheletes and movie stars and the owners and producers and such make so much, they also pay so much, so it makes the world go round. I sure can't complain about what I make, I always knew that if I wanted something that no one was just going to give it to me. I knew I had to work for it. But as I get older and somewhat wiser, I do feel like I want to pay less and less in taxes and almost every other issue to me becomes moot.
Interesting Democratic debate last night. I'd have to lean toward Riley at this point.
