Highly Taxed People are Happy People!
Check out this bit of socialist propaganda, which is clearly a thinly veiled attempt to promote the government seizing an ever-increasing proportion of our income!
Why stop at two-thirds? If the government would only take ALL our money, I'm sure that we would all be ecstatic!

As one who enjoys life, and DOESN"T pay ANY state income tax and almost ZERO income tax every year, I'm not complaining. There are always loopholes to use legally, if you work at it. I've been audited twice and won both times. The ways our govt. spends their tax income is absurd. I do better stimulating the economy by me spending my money than letting the govt stimulate economy by giving it away.. Rich
