if the middleclass tax is raised against us it will hurt me and my mother and help the 200,000 low income poor who eat turkey and sandwhiches for free.:)

Is this some sort of moral dilemma in which we discuss utilitarianism? If not, then I am disappoint.

If you live in the U.S., there is no pending tax increase for anyone earning less than $250,000 per year. Folks earning more than $250K per year would not be defined as the middle class. In other words, I'm not seeing what tax increase and socialist sandwich subsidy you're currently protesting.

Making 250K a year makes you middle class? Jesus, I must be really really poor with my 30K a year.

Either you're making no sense or the topic is totally rediculous.

I don't think he said that. I think he just doesn't want the current taxes to be raised on the middle class, but since there is no talk of such a thing at the moment I'm still confused.

Of course not. We all know the rule for a multiple choice question: Choose the best answer.

I had kind of the same reaction actually. I just ordered a pizza. Why oh why is there no Flying Pie in my city? Had to settle for Chicago Connection.

Given the complete lack of discussion in this thread, I think it's safe to say that the opening post was unsuccessful in its attempt to start a productive thread.
