@okie,
No, okie, I said you didn't outright say you hated poor people. However, if you understand anything about inference, you would know what I'm talking about.
You say that taxing the rich is the transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor. * Wrong conclusion.
You say that the poor don't pay any income taxes, but in fact get money back. * That was determined by both the republicans and democrats. If the republicans did not agree, they could have revoked that part of the IRS code. They had many chances to do just that. They didn't.
From your many statements about taxation, the inference is without question that you have no respect or empathy for the poor - even as you claim your own family was poor.
Most people in this country who have lived through the Great Depression knows about poor. You needn't preach to us about it. Most of us also understand that many Americans are sufffering from this Great Recession, and the government has the responsibility to help them keep food on the table and shelter over their heads. That's called "security at home."
We give billions away in foreign aid every year; charity begins at home for those in need.
