exactly. It feels like many on the right are trying to turn america into a christian theocracy... and claim that our world supremacy is a sole result of the God we worship... and not because of our balance of the ideals of freedom and equality.

Sometimes it feels like we're, socially, half a step away from becoming the middle east... only with a different god.

The top 1% of America pay 40% of the federal income taxes. That statistic comes right from the IRS. Somehow, that enormous burden isnt enough apparently...

And the bottom 50% of America pays NO federal income tax.

Fairness is making the rich pay more?

The politicians cannot cut 1% of the federal budget but you are for giving them yet more taxes... Of course, you want to give them more of someone elses income, not your own... Typical.
