1. No, but you should have pointed out that
all those niggling little taxes were levied to make up for tax breaks targeted toward the richest.

Yes, we're being robbed by taxes on top of taxes. Yes, we're being robbed by artificially low wages and the offshoring of all the decent jobs. Yes, we're being robbed when we're urged to go into debt for what our wages won't buy, and yes we're being robbed by this country's refusal to deal with the health insurance mess.

However, the mean old government isn't the enemy. It's the rich men who bought the mean old government one crooked politician at a time.
