i'm at a point where i'm at 30% taxes and it'd be nice to have a little break from that.. but as far as i know, until i have stocks or something, i'm kind of stuck.

Exactly. Maybe the "rich" have an *effective* tax rate of 20%. - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 21, 07:31 19
- i still don't think the rich should foot the bill for gov't programs.. -- nm - colinski Jul 21, 07:34 18

  - until obama passes the health care bill, you are free to think what you want. but after that, its against the law. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 21, 07:37 2
    - it will be against the law for me to think the rich shouldn't pay for gov't programs? - colinski Jul 21, 07:39 1
      - well, that damm healthcare bill is omnipotent. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 21, 07:40

        So, they should have had health insurance? :) -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 21, 07:41 1
        
        sure, but not a forced governmental plan that requries them to have 3 kids, one which is gay. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 21, 07:42
