Again, I am not saying the poor should not receive help. I have also said many times prior to this that if you make less than say $30,000 a year, you ought not to have to pay any taxes as long as no one abuses how they get to $30,000 a year. All I am saying is no one ought to have to pay more tha 20% total. It is beyond me how that is so offensive to the poor.
