Hound,
I am part of the top 1% of wage earners, who has worked hard, sacrificed, planned, and been very benevolent to those in need. I am indeed proud of my achievements which have been gained by God's grace. I give away half of my professional production to insurance company write-offs, yet we have a healthcare "problem" that people cry for the gov't to cure. Be wary, you gave the gov't access to the mortgage industry and what happened. Give them access to the healthcare dollar and just see what corruption is spawned. I carry clothes in the back of my BMW to give to hand to the needy off of highway exits. I have had them thrown back at me because they wanted money. I hire workers at home and at the lake and pay well, feed and cloth them as well.
I could go on and on and on about how the top 1% of wage earners like myself are already, in Obama's terms, "neighborly", or in Biden's terms "patriotic". But nothing more needs to be stated than the top 1% of wage earners ALREADY pay 67% of the tax burden. I will not become any more neighborly. I will not become any more patriotic. My charitable contributions will decrease. I will never support a candidate like Obama who is, in my opinion, a malignant cancer. I will work less, make the same amount of money since I will save it in tax, vacation more, and not contribute to Obama's vision of America. I will lay off workers who will not be needed. Many in the healthcare community will do the same, or are already doing it. He cannot assume that the top 5 % of wage earners will work harder in order to redistribute it to those who don't pay any taxes at all. My children will be well taken care of and share my opinion. It is time that the "middle class", of which I was one for the majority of my life, , speak with one united voice, and quit relying on other people for their sustenance. Tell the Democratic party that you are not for sale. Until then, get used to a degree of class warfare that this country has never seen which will only delay the economic recovery that we so deparately want for our children's sake.
