This just makes my blood boil. My husband’s parents didn’t have the money to send him to college, so he worked full time bussing and waiting tables for 4 years to pay his way through college, and he paid back every cent he borrowed for years after he graduated. He started out at the bottom of the totem pole at his firm, and when I met him he was working 60 – 80 hours a week most of the time. After busting his rear end for 27 years, he has worked his way to near the top. To this day he works 6 or 7 days a week and travels constantly. On this beautiful Saturday morning while I sit here on my lap top, he was up at 6:30am and in his home office working. Yes, he made a choice to do what he does, but damn it all, we already pay nearly half of his income in taxes each year. It’s just never enough. The harder he works, the more he gets taken away. Socialism kills the work ethic. Just look at France. He always tells me he doesn’t mind paying taxes and understands the need. He just gets angry when he hears politicians say the rich don’t pay enough. Grrrrr…
