"me paying taxes is manisfestly unfair."
you ARE a republican! Hey how do you suppose they pay for the ATON's you sail by down there? the Coast Guard? the National Weather Service? Just because the politicians piss away buckets of money doesnt mean there arent things that need to be paid for. And if you want to find monumental waste, check out the Iraq War. That is the king of all wasteful projects.
Who should pay the taxes? You are right that I think they should raise taxes on rich people. I call rich anyone over 250k/yr. and really rich anyone over a million. If you are that rich, Chuck, then you shouldnt complain because America has allowed you to do very well and giving some back IS social justice. If you arent that rich then Obama has already said your taxes arent going up so why complain?
On smart vs. education. There is a big difference. Just look at W if you need an illustration.
Sailaway you are wrong if you think Congress is who gave Halliburton the nobid contracts. That was the Administration. Sure, Congress probably could cut them off and didnt but the contracts came from the admin. in the first place.
