Back when I was married my wife and I had been working at our careers for over 25 years (each), she was in the insurance industry, I was in the fire service and working a part time job as a fire instructor. Neither of us had a college degree, we just worked hard at what we did, and got good at it. For several years we made well over 130K, she would work and take care of the kids, I would work 70 hours per week.
Imagine my surprise when we discoverred we were the "rich" people that the Democrats were reffering to. Imagine our further surprise when we discoverred we were in the 30% tax bracket, yep 1 out of every 3 dollars we earned went to Uncle Sam.
Imagine how I felt when the Democrats wanted to tax us "rich" people even more. Talk about penalizing people who work while sucking up to the scumbags.
That is why I vote Republican, because we all can't be on welfare.
