12. Oh, I'm pissed all right.

I have been pissed for years, since I had worked for a CPA firm where we spent all our time finding ways to beat the taxman. And it is amazing how much people with money can do to avoid paying taxes. I was shocked then, but now I am just pissed.

Note: McCain and Palin did not win....but I don't know how much things like your example helped that. Mittens did not win, but I don't know how much things like not releasing/half releasing his tax returns affected that. I like to think that enough people were also just as outraged as we are.
