I work 30-35 hours a week, live on my own, have a 3.6gpa, and go to a private school. I only take out $5k worth of loans a year. Its not hard. But maybe it just works for us republicans. ---

StrokedZ28 is right but heres another problem. Company shareholders who sit on a board of trustees don’t technically make a salary. Their income comes from the stock they own (as well as any perks the company is willing to give like cars, hotels etc…). This income that they make does not get any SS, medicare/medicaid deducted from it, Only federal. Which means that this group of people making millions are only paying 17% taxes, while most of us is paying around 25%. Tell me how is this fair? ---

There are many, many things that are unfair about taxes and life in general. We all want a “fair tax” system. But it’s funny how nearly every individuals verison of “fair” involves more taxes for someone else and less for themselves. HMMMMM…makes you wonder. ---
