Overheard this morning in the office, spoken by an otherwise smart and talented 20 year old: “It’s not fair. People who have higher incomes obviously worked harder for that money, so why should they be taxed at a higher rate? It’s just not fair.” Spoken like one who has only known those higher income levels. Let’s go talk to some minimum wage factory workers and tell them that they’re simply not working very hard. Also: “Someone who works three jobs and earns the same income as someone who just works 9 to 5 is taxed at the same rate. That’s not fair.” Honey, someone who works three jobs is probably doing it to simply make ends meet and not earning enough to even be taxed in the first place. This is the same woman who informed us that, although she is a Republican, she was going to vote in the Democratic primary, for Hillary Clinton, so that Barack Obama wouldn’t win the nomination, thus giving John McCain an easier win in the national election. And you know what, it’s not even 10 a.m. on a Monday morning. It’s too early for this crap.
