Taxes= Punishment

ok so i hope the image loaded up ok. but i have a problem with the so called taxing of the rich. it is not the right of the Government to reach into the pockets of the wealthy and take money that they have earned to pay for someone elses insurance or well being. we are not a socialist nation we are a democracy we have the right to live freely. like Reagan said, "A government that governs best governs the least" it is our right as Americans to give to people in need not our obligation. it is also our right to not give if we so choose. the nation needs to back off of the rich and let them keep the money that they have worked so hard to earn i hope the picture has loaded but if not the top 5% of the rich in 2005 have or are paying 60% or more of total income taxes. they should not be punished for doing well in their lives and being motivated to better. it is just a screwed up system the rich should not have to pay for their insurance and part of someone elses. they call it "Tax breaks for the rich" i call it allowing people to spend their money how they choose not how the government chooses. my dad will be getting abonus in March but will only be receiving half of his total amount because he is being forced to pay taxes on things that do not even effect him, such as Social Security, Medicare, or Medicade. its ridiculous and needs to be dealt with.
