1. I believe hard work should be rewarded by eliminating income taxes
...on all earned income and increasing income taxes to 90%+plus on unearned income! It is about time the American worker got a break for a change.

2. I am part of the silver spoon generation
you know the twenty somethings that expect all of the finer things in life but don't want to work for them. My generation is the reason for 0% down loans and why every department store has its own credit card. And you know what? It pisses me off. Last year was the first in the nations history or something where we had a negative savings rate! And I see all of my friends going out to bars and "clubs" putting that night on their student visa. Or how my sister in law has a bachelors and $700 a month in student loans! (she bought t.v.s and shit through student loans) I just can't smack sense into all of them and say, "hey, you are going to have to pay for that!" well, sorry for the rant but I really think my generation and those after me should wake up, work hard and accept the fact they are all not destined to be billionaires.
