Apropos of recent posts on whether conservatives and Republicans hate the poor, food stamp usage, and more, we are compelled to repost this video we made a while back:

The burden of income tax borne by the so-called rich is already much higher than their share, and it’s been going up for decades. How much more do Obama and the Democrats want? These people work hard, create most of our jobs, and provide products and services we use. Why do we want to punish them?

We already have the most progressive income tax in the world, and yet they say they’re not paying their “fair share.” And, with envy and hate and greed of their own, the Occupiers try to pit everyone against them.

This is not the way America is supposed to be.

Curious to see what percentage of the income tax burden you are bearing? Use this simple calculator from Kiplingers.
