You didn't earn that money so in the eyes of the government it ain't yours. The wealthy will only put their money into trusts or foundations and draw a large pay check so if they think they are going to steal the wealth of the wealthy they are wrong.

Well that just assumes you have a inheritance to begin with... Now doesn't it?
For some reason, people in government feel that taxing those who have lots of money, and promising to give it to those that don't, will be seen as heroes to the poor. What they really are doing is showing poor people, which includes a lot of lazy freeloaders, that they should keep being lazy, vote for people who raise taxes, and kick back and live off the efforts of others. This ensures that the cycle will continue, but the poor will not benefit, as shown by all of Obama's promises to poor people since being first elected, and now they are much worse off than before he made his first promises to give rich people's money to them.
Let me ask you one. Do you think a family of six (wife, husband, four kids) is wealthy that earns $287,000 per year?

Does it matter and how is it any of your business?
Yes, it matters when someone is whining about paying taxes when others are starving.
It's my business because this rant is obviously from the point of view of someone who has something huge to lose. The proposed taxing ONLY APPLIES to filthy rich people.

Depends on where you live, and how old your kids are.

Utter bullcrap. Do some research on the working poor, and what the percentage of 'foodstamp' recipients are. I have never, ever applied for foodstamps, but I have known people with both adults working who NEEDED it just to get by.

You mean the usual Obama=evil socialist/commie that you generally post?
I spent the weekend with my grandparents who are almost 90, because they buy into the Fox News rhetoric they see Obama as an evil man, yet someone like Rick Scott a proven con man is someone they think is a good boy.
I do not buy into BS.
Just look forward to the 2016 election where you will be able to vote for Jeb Bush, the great republican hope..... rolls eyes.
