That's how socialism works. Why is it that our American socialists have not told everyone how much sacrifice is required to keep socialism going? Google taxes in other countries. Not just income taxes, but value added taxes and sales taxes also. Then look at how much payroll taxes are taken out of one's paycheck. Then look at how many countries that have socialized medicine also have supplemental private insurance for those that want quality health care. Even Canada requires you to pay your own prescriptions and ambulance service.

I get it envy is envy. But aren't there varying degrees of envy as there is wealth?
I'm not thinking of myself. I have plenty.
I'm thinking of the greater then 90% that couldn't write a thousand dollar check if they had too. Are they all lazy and self-entitled?
Look at it this way if you only see things in black or white.
Speeding is speeding so the guy who guys 1 mile over the limit is just as guilty as the guy who goes 60 miles over the limit. But can't you see any difference if the speed limit is 25 mph?
I don't really care what you think or what you need to tell yourself to make it easy to sleep at night. I'm sorry I wasted your time..
