No point in arguing with the unwilling. They have dug their feet in and refuse to listen to logic. He is not an economist, accountant, financial adviser, or anything else that has a clue of the implications overall of what is happening to Americans other than themselves, so you toss him into the group that doesn't understand how their own taxes and the tax code works. They see what they want to see and will not allow anything to change their mind. It's the definition of insanity.
I love how the rich are evil because they make money, work their asses off to earn it, and are the devil because they don't walk down the street handing it out to those that didn't get an education, didn't make the most of theirselves, and anyone else that didn't capitalize on what this country offers. You don't get rich working from 9-5. if you don't know that, then that's your problem. The rich work 70, 80, 90 ,100 hours a week, yet you think it's wrong they make so much money and that it's not showing in your pocket. Well I got news for you sport, without the rich, you'd be out of a job, because a "rich corporation" most likely owns your company that probably started by an individual with great motivation. But hey, whatever keeps you energized and waking up each and every day. I personally would rather be spending these days getting excited about Santa Clause, smelling cookies, and happy I'm alive and healthy. But different strokes for different folks.
