To that i say, well that means you're living beyond your means.<br /><br />If we can only afford welfare and other such socialist services by taxing the rich, then we really shouldn't have those services.<br /><br />Continuing to have those services by taxing the rich is then no different from a crack-addict stealing to fund his/her crack-habit.<br /><br />"What say you to any of the points above? Any-one want to discuss this over drinks or lunch? Your shout... "<br /><br />Nice one. :)MathewKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14385674205383405783noreply@blogger.com
