I agree with you Ferm, hitting the top 15 is not going to solve anything. And my wife and I are well below the $250,000 mark....as well as the $150,000 mark for that matter.

Quote Ferm,"The problem isn't solely who is paying the taxes, but the MAIN issue is where our POS GOOBERMENT is spending our taxes(and for what). Why don't we start eliminating some useless government employees not pulling there weight?"

I agree with this also. Governor Donald L. Carcieri is trying to get this done in Rhode Island and it ain't easy. Unions just don't allow it to happen, at least in this state. Guess that's what they are there for but in the end it cost all of us, on both the municipal, state and federal levels.

From everything I see, it appears that OBama plans would create more government jobs and spending and that is gong to cost "us".
