I do know they care about me less, you know why, because my family's income puts me in the top 1% of Americans (who the Democrats want to raise taxes on).  And my parents both vote Democratic as well.

 

That's over 350K a year, and I assume you mean your parents. It's is funny how you include yourself in the same tax bracket as your parents.

Playing with other peoples money as if it was yours ... You are the prefect Democrat ;) 

I stand corrected, my family is only in the top 2% of Americans.  But those same tax raises would still affect us for the most part.  And thanks to steven for pointing out the my family ALSO votes democratic.

I have no problems with what your parents vote. It’s their money. I have a problem with the other 98% telling those 2% what they need to do with their money (like you for example :p).

If there was a flat tax, and when we needed to raise taxes, it was raised on everyone, I would not take issue at all with anyone voting for that raise.

But money is time. It takes effort to earn. And when you are allowed to vote to take someone else’s time and effort away, in exchange for your own time and effort returned to you, I find that very un-American.

There is something very wrong with that philosophy in my eyes.

Oh, and I am not in that top 2%, so my views are as self sacrificing as your parents.
