Yeah, I love all these handouts and entitlements I get from the government. I feel the goddamn love for small businesses.
I pay my taxes gladly because schools, roads, national security, police, fire, the list goes on and on. But seriously fuck anyone right in the fucking ear who says I don't pay any taxes because I'm an Obama supporter.
And seriously, the reason people who make $20K and less a year get their tax withholdings refunded to them basically in full is due to the tax code, which at this point has been so shot full of holes by presidents of all stripes as to be rendered basically useless. I'm really tired of this argument that low-income people don't pay taxes and are therefore of less use to society. They pay taxes. Your fucking rules give that money back to them. If you don't like it, change it, but shit or get off the pot.
