The top 10% should pay it all....they damn sure don't go fight and die in the Republican wars.
They should, huh?
Can you explain why anybody should be paying your way through life? Because they happen to have it? If you are in a fancy restaurant, and there is a very rich guy there, should he be buying your dinner for you and your wife? Or if you are looking at new cars at the dealership, should a rich guy buy you a car because of the reason he is wealthy?
I guess that's the difference between conservative and liberal philosophy: conservatives believe all men are created equal, while liberals believe they make everybody equal.
How much is YOUR fair share of what somebody else worked for?"

What you folks never have nor ever will admit is that rich people got it one of two ways.
1) They inherited it
2) They used the labor and/or talents of others.....anything else is some kind of con
I have a theory about what goes on in this life. A person cannot choose who their parents will be. They cannot choose where they will be born. They cannot choose their IQ. They have nothing to say about whether or not they will be crippled or normal. Why don't you Republican assholes just admit how lucky you are?
The Republicans are not against those who are underprivileged physically or mentally. The Republicans are against those who are capable of earning a living but opt to suck off the system because Democrats are able to buy votes that way.
Economist Dr. Walter E Williams said it best about the wealthy. When teaching in college, he was often asked by his students what the secret to financial success was? He would always reply that it's no secret at all. The key to financial success is making your fellow man happy. That's it.
You've been told you make a great hamburger when you cook for parties or picnics, so you take your great hamburger and open up a restaurant. You are making your fellow man happy by the hundreds, and that will be reflected in your income. Then you decide to franchise your restaurant and sell your delicious burger to millions of people. Again, your income will reflect serving your fellow man by the millions: McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King.
You often play your guitar for friends and family at parties or gatherings, and they tell you that your music is outstanding. So you put together a band and start playing bars and weddings making your fellow man happy by the hundreds, and you will be financially rewarded. Then a recording company hears about your talent, signs you up to make a recording, and now your music is pleasing your fellow man by the millions. Your income will reflect that.
In most cases, wealthy people are wealthy because they provide a product or service that pleases their fellow man by the thousands or millions. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Oprah, Cher........
LOL....life is a business solution. You are definitely a Republican!
What about the poor bastard who is born with osteoporosis and is losing bone mass every day that he/she lives? A person living their life knowing that just bending forward might break their back. Crippled people definitely don't want to join the Republican party.
Why is that? When have Republicans stated they want the disabled to support themselves? If anything, we want to get the leeches off of the programs so that those who really need them have more. Don't get me wrong, we think it would be great of a disabled person were able to find a way to create money. I've seen it done repeatedly in my life. But no Republican is for throwing the unfortunate off of our welfare programs to let them starve or die.
Horse Shit!!!
What you want is zero taxes and let every poor son-of-a-bitch in the country fend for themselves. I've posted this multiple times.....I was a Republican, born and bred for the first thirty years I voted. I voted for Eisenhower, Goldwater, Nixon three times. I even voted for Reagan his first term but when I saw his absolute agenda of cutting any kind of public assistance and slashing tax rates for the rich to the lowest they had been in 50 years I went twenty years and didn't even show up at the polls. The modern Republican party stands for two things....low tax rates for the rich and maximum subsidies for corporations. Under Reagan the mentally retarded were put out of public assistance and the number of homeless on our streets peaked at levels never seen before or since:
