Why should I be upset if a person who pays $150,000 per year in Federal Income Tax gets a $5,000 tax reduction?

I don't think people should have to struggle and suffer while others are sitting pretty. I think we are only as strong as our weakest link and that wealth should be spread much more evenly to produce a safe & moral society. A society that understands that we are dependent on every single person, regardless of vocation, and that no one should be disrespected economically while the filthy rich own damn near everything.

Our current society looks a lot like the pyramid scheme that is printed on every dollar bill to me.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.
