But hey, I guess they deserve it. Its not easy being born into a rich family and all. Not to mention, gambling is a hard career choice.

This is why Congress needs to pass a fair, flat tax. Of course, libs would still whine about it. Ironically most of the libs who would use these points to blast the rich likely use a few points themselves as well.

The Fair Tax is a consumption tax. It wouldn't work unless you totally eliminated the IRS. Mexico and England both have the VAT - Value Added Tax - and they also have the income tax. If we didn't eliminate the IRS, they would give us the Fair Tax, but they would also give us the Fair Tax and the Income Tax. You can't have a consumption tax and the IRS.

The best way to get to the Fair Tax is to start with a Flat Tax. You could take care of the poor by personal exemptions. The Flat Tax - taxes at the lowest possible denominator -would dramatically reduce the IRS and get us well on our way to eliminating the IRS getting us closer to a Fair Tax.

If any candidate proposes the Flat Tax, it's a good step in that direction. BTW, Sen. Ted Cruz proposes a Flat Tax as a two-step solution.

The GOP was willing to go to war and see over a million people killed for corporate welfare. The party came into being mainly from the support of bitter Whigs who had seen their privilege slip away.

Why does everything go back to the "War of Northern Aggression" with you?
I am sensing some unresolved bitterness, here...

Please don't play the "bitterness card". Exposing a bunch of frauds who pretend to be for smaller government is not a bitterness thing.
