Millionaire farmers getting rich off of farm subsidies.
I'm supposed to cry over them paying taxes? |

Unfortunately, most of the poor are poor because of the sum of their life choices. Taxing the bejeezus out of the rich isn't going to alter that.

But I was relatively low on the totem pole growing up. My father took his first job after graduate school, in the 20k range. High 20k I think. Then he lost his job when the economy turned south in Texas during the oil bust. What were the wrong choices he made? I never went hungry so I wasn't truly poor. |

My wife for a time was truly poor and it was because of some of the choices her dad made. |
