In reply to the discussion: Just did my taxes and I feel ashamed [View all]cherokeeprogressive
(24,853 posts)1. The only problem I have with this is...
The "Rich" didn't write the tax code.
I posit that if there were politicians more interested in making things right than getting re-elected, the tax code could be rewritten so as to make things more equitable. There aren't. Anywhere.
For that reason, I'm more likely to say The Politicians have, and ARE fucking America. Fuck them all.
