@Suckmesideways:The problem there is increasing salaries without increasing inflation along with it. If inflation rises at the same rate as the bottom earners, then there's a zero net gain and we are in the same boat. The fact is, you will always have people earning very low salaries that barely allow them to survive. Our tax system is designed to not create an undue burden on those that can least afford it.
@ SilverAcidSoooo, uh, 293,744,000 Americans are living below the poverty line?I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, and I don't really have an opinion on your post either way, but seeing as there's about 300 million people in this country I'm having a hard time believing that 97% of Americans are living below the poverty line. I don't care enough to go look it up, but I'm thinking you may have misread some of that census information.
Also, a related search is "arab costume"... Are all arabs terrorists, now? Reminds me of that lady telling McCain that Obama is an arab. He corrects her saying something like "no ma'am, he's a good, respectable man." LOL
