it's almost tax day, and I'm feeling the pain

Are you one of the 47% of this nation's population that aren't paying federal income tax this year? if so, please come visit me, and bring a couple of steaks...i prefer grass fed, and a sixer or two as thanks. uncle sam got deeeeep into our pockets this year.
and of course, this is the time the pundits find a receptive audience, especially those of us that actually paid taxes this year.

this article by Phyllis Shlafly in Town Hall magazine just hits a lot of valid talking points before wandering off into the typical rant. but her points are damned valid.

Income tax day, April 15, 2010, now divides Americans into two almost equal classes: those who pay for the services provided by government and the freeloaders. The percentage of Americans who will pay no federal income taxes at all for 2009 has risen to 47 percent.

When Obama told Joe the Plumber he wanted to "spread the wealth around," Obama wasn't kidding. That's exactly what he is now doing: taking money from taxpayers and spreading it around to non-taxpayers.
