1. Government generates zero income, all wealth they redistribute is confiscated from individuals who earn it.

2. The top 10% of American taxpayers pay about 70% of the income tax burden, the top 50% pay about 97% of the income tax burden.
It is clear that half of us are carrying the load for the other half. Class warfare isn't going to change that.

3. Rich or poor, regardless of your political leaning, Government has spent too much of our money and the current course is unsustainable. We have been forced to support a massive program of deficit spending that we won't be able to continue in the future. How that money has been distributed is about as important as the proverbial deck chairs on the Titanic.
