I agree with you 100%. I have nothing against artist's, if fact I admire Eben's work. You do some great stuff with glass and this is in no way directed at you. There are allot of things I would love to do for a job but they can't pay the bills. I should not be someone else's responsibility to support me so I can do what I want to. I have been self employed most of my life ( up 1 1/2 years ago ) and busted my hump to get by. I was in the lowest tax bracket and guess what, I paid NO Taxes. that's right NO TAX. Why? Because the government said I did not make enough to pay, if fact they gave me more back than I paid in. THIS IS JUST PLAIN WRONG!!! Then you get to listen to the Dem's cry about the tax cuts and bring out there tired old war horse class war fare to try to scare people into believing the Rep's are screwing them and only giving tax cuts to the rich. It's a cart full of BS, every bracket had a rate reduction with the exception of the lowest which do pay any. How could you give me a tax cut if i already paid nothing??? I am not rich but I do understand that the richest 1% ( Dem catch fraise ) pay the majority of the tax that is collected. Keep going Dems, keep bashing them and see where your BS social programs go when they all get pissed and move out of country and pay there tax to someone else.
I need a break from all of this. I'm starting to get aggravated, i enjoy talking to all of you and don't want to take this to a personal level.
