Aw, come on what are you bellyaching about? You act like THERE IS A RECESSION, like PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING, can't keep their jobs or find one. I mean really if THE COST OF EVERYTHING IS GOING UP or the price of gas shot up I'd think that maybe there was a reason you would have a problem paying HALF OF YOUR INCOME to pork barrel projects and private contractors. But really there isn't a problem Shell, Mobile and all the others are posting RECORD PROFITS, now that proves there isn't a problem and you should be glad to have a chance to pay all of these fine American Taxes. I mean if we were not able to give so much why would the TOP GOVERNMENTAL JOBS HAVE GREAT BENIFITS SOME FOR LIFE. Even if OUR ELECTED OFFICALS HAVE LEGAL TROUBLE AND BREAK THE LAW. They are different and special rules apply to them. Geez Louise arn't you the stick in the mud. You act like A FRIST YEAR ACCOUNTING STUDENT could do a better job than the IRS/Govt.
