@plainoldme,
That's all part and parcel of transferring wealth to the poor and middle class; according to okie. Since many pay no taxes, the poor and middle class takes away wealth from the rich folks.
He just doesn't understand how this country became the most powerful after WWII: with government subsidies to educate our returning soldiers - many who were poor.
That transfer of "wealth" benefited people like okie, but his ability at remembering history is non-existent.
