I'm 50 years old and my wife is 53. She stays home and I go to work each and every morning 55-60 hours per week. I've worked full time since I was 18 non-stop. I have no college degree. I make way less than 90k a year, WAY less. I drive a 6 year old truck and my wife drives a 7 year old Jeep. I have a job, decent health benefits 1/2 of which I pay, we give to the church every week and donate regularly to the Good Will and others.

We have a small home out in the country in Tennessee. Our kids and grand kids also live here and from time to time we help them with a little cash if they need it. I'd say a good 30-40% or more of what I earn is taken by the government already in one tax or another. I only have what little I have because I was smart enough to make a few good decisions along the way.

No one gave me a damn thing.

I guess it isn't fair I have a job. I guess it isn't fair that I have health benefits, I guess it isn't fair I can pay my mortgage, I guess it isn't fair that I have a truck when so many can't afford a car at all. I guess just about everything I've worked for all my life isn't fair because I have and others don't. According to Obama and apparently you too, I have too much. I need to give up more.

So my question to all the holier than thou liberals, just how much more do I need to give. How much is enough? Should I give up 60% of my earnings, 70%, 80%, all of it? Tell me Chels, how much of what I earn would you let me to keep to take care of my family?

Will you be happy when I can barely make my mortgage? Maybe you'll be happy if I just give up and go on the government hand-out train? Cap-n-Tax will raise my energy costs significantly. The liberals will let the Bush tax cuts expire so I can pay even more out of my families budget. Maybe it would make you happy if the government punishes the rich evil people who created my job?

What the hell is it you want??? More middle class blood so YOU can sleep better at night?

I give plenty and enough is taken from me in taxes. I'm so sick and tired of the liberal sanctimonious assaults against those like me just because there is a small percentage who can't seem to make it on their own. I can decide just fine on my own where my money goes and who I can help and who i can't. We don't need liberal thieves taking it from us at will all the while voting themselves pay raises whenever they want.

You want to help? Then break out your own damn money and leave mine alone. I have a family to feed.

Have you checked your Bible lately?

2 Thessalonians 3:10

"For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone will not work, neither let him eat."

"The slothful hand hath wrought poverty: but the hand of the industrious getteth riches. He that trusteth to lies feedeth the winds: and the same runneth after birds that fly away."
