Re: Tax returns
by ftheleft

esya....you write "Then, once elected, they can pass laws forcing all the richer republicans to give back all the money they stole from working stiffs over the last few decades (called corporate profits also known as personal profit supported by lobbying and corporate charity laws)."

The income redistribution that you desire only speaks to your hatred of freedom and self responsibility. First of all, the reason for going into business is to MAKE MONEY. These "evil" corporate profits you allude to are a GOOD thing. It's why they stay in business and why people have jobs and opportunity. It's what we do in a free market economy, and what makes our country great. ANYONE with the drive and desire to be rich CAN BE in America.

Unfortunately, those of your ilk seem to be a growing number in this country. You'd rather sit on your butt and depend on the government to "force" those with greater ambition than you to give what THEY WORKED FOR to you.

Here's an idea. Why don't you grow up and take responsibility for yourself and for your lot in life instead of blaming those who have worked harder and achieved more. It should NEVER be govenments role to provide for your needs. The government should only be responsible for guaranteeing your freedom to become as successful as you are willing to be.

We have young people around the world fighting for that freedom every day. Then we have people here at home, like you, abusing it every day. You should be ashamed.
