I didn't mock Hoot for anything. You all have been the ones mocking me and have repeatedly avoided the topic of these rich, greedy CEOs and politicians that are causing the tax rates for the poor and middle class to be increased. The sales tax is BOLDsupposedBOLD to go to the states but are being used in other areas. What part of that is hard to comprehend?

O echo chamber, quote me all day because I'm yet to see anything standing up for the poor or middle class.

^^ I let this slide for a while. Don't lump the poor and the middleclass together. It is the poor who live off the middleclass. And it is the middleclass who're being taxed into oblivion to provide those welfare benefits for the so-called poor. Many of whom don't work by choice.

Many of the middleclass say because of the enormity of the financial burden already imposed upon them by the ACA, they often choose not to go to the doctor themselves because they can no longer afford to pay the copays and insured coverage shortfalls. But I'd make a deal. If the authorities would positively verify that those receiving welfare benefits and ObamaCare really do require them to survive, I'd be okay with it. Somehow the idea of my buying beer and cigarettes and who knows what else for folks who'd just rather not work, strikes me the wrong way.
