So who gets 50% of their income confiscated? Not you!

I do not envy people who make more money than I do. I just believe that if you make more, you should pay more. Simple as that. So, yes John Kerry and Theresa Heinz should pay more than I do, and they agree with that premise as they both support Barack Obama. So does Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, etc.. and I'm sure they make more than you do, and they pay more than you do.

Your post is totally made up. There is no blatant hypocrasy. There is no tax on Republicans that isn't on Democrats. If you make more, no matter if you are red or blue, you should pay more. I really don't understand why that would upset anyone. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than a rich man to get into heaven... oh, I keep forgetting, only Republicans are Christians.

And I don't believe a baby doesn't have a right to live - any more than I believe in war. Why do you consider one murder on a higher ethical scale than another? All life is sacred.

So loosen up your halo, it's strangling you..
