And from a website I used to respect...

Does anyone else feel a little insulted by this, or is it just that I work in the financial services that I'm being touchy? During a week of celebrating a tax revolt leading to more freedom than ever has been achieved in history.... we should happily delay our retirement in order to pay more taxes....

Don't worry.  Middle-class retiree savings are eroded by inflation.  They probably aren't going to be able to retire, even if they want to.

If you don't die on the job, the terrorists win.

I like how the solution is never to end the Ponzi scheme but to have taxpayers pay more taxes for less benefits.  What retired millionaire is going to do that?  They're going to head offshore faster than you can say "capital flight."

Yes, the intelligent ones. Idiots like Donald Trump campaign for an one time wealth tax so the government can pay its debt.

It seems to me that anything a tax slave - oops! make that citizen - does that does NOT go immediately into the coffers of the U$ Treasury is bound to be deemed 'unpatriotic' sooner or later . . .  Its almost like that joke 1040 'short form' that passes around the net - line 1 - Income, Line 2 - 10% penalty, Line 3 - Add line 1 + 2 and send in check for total.
