Poor Little Rich Folks

[lydamorehouse]

I have to rant here because I don't want to engage on someone else's FB status. Srsly? You want me to have sympathy for the rich because they might FINALLY be asked to pay their fair share? Do you EVEN KNOW what percentage tax *I* pay as a self-employed writer? 30% !! On about (this year) $8,000 (yes, a$$hole, that's my TOTAL yearly income.) And, you want me to feel sorry for some rich jerk who pulls in more than a MILLION dollars a year? Who might be asked to pay 10% of that? Let's see, 10% of a million vs. 30% on 8,000... which of us is suffering again?

I'm sorry, I can't hear your talking points over the sound of my head exploding.
