If you hire someone over another person because one is competent and the other is not, then that is discrimination. Not all discrimination is bad. I don't get angry at people who make more money than I do. I get angry at people who make plenty of money to help others and prefer to keep it to themselves. Quite a Christian society of greed we have in the United States. We should be taking more money from someone if he is better able to afford it. No pure communism under dictatorship failed. The reason the United States has thrived is they have developed a mix of capitalism and socialism. Using your website, by your claim to lose 20% of your money to taxes you would have to be making around 200k. You mentioned that you made 5k last year and were overly taxed. You were among the ones least taxed by your own figures. So what is your argument? When you finish college and start making a lot of money you want to keep it all to yourself and !@#$%^&* the poor because you're not one of them? The rich were taxed just fine during the Clinton years. Bush cutting the taxes was apparently large enough to cause a record surplus to turn into a record deficit. It was also large enough to prompt Bush to turn social security into the stock market because of the supposed iminent bankruptcy of social security. It was also big enough to turn Republicans into strong advocates of cutting medicare and medicaid and looking for any excuse to do so. That means that even those tax cuts that don't seem like a big deal actually have a detrimental effect on the country's fiscal condition. You say that your money goes to a crackhead, but that's just your excuse not to think about what you and other people who support this idea are doing to the poor. This is extremely irresponsible and selfish thinking. And by the way, when you disagree, try not to hurl personal insults at me.
