    One might call me apologetic, but I personally feel like paying taxes is not exactly holocausty.

    Then again, I don’t know any rich people, so maybe I’m just biased.

      They see taxes as theft against them personally by corrupt politicians to either steal for themselves or use to buy votes of the worthless poor.

      That’s why they consider lobbying to be sacrosanct, it’s their only way to keep control of the politicians like they need to for everyone’s welfare.

      It’s their country, they are exceedingly generous in letting us live in it.
