In 2006 I had a good year (after six years of hard work and severe risk plus many more years of preparation and study). That year I only paid 16% of my income (long term cap gains) - HORRORS! Does that mean I didn't pay my FAIR SHARE? If you take the total amount collected that year, divided by the number of taxpayers, I not only paid MY share, but those of 270 other people who didn't pay a cent. I didn't even get to claim myself or my family members as deductions (a final slap in the face for being successful). I have managed to create some valuable technology that the U.S. desparately needs (no one else has even come close), and provided good livings for some 90 people, for several years. I have also bought many things that provided good livings for people that build cars (admittedly, none in the U.S.!!!!!), homes, and many, many other products. <br> <br> So... EXCUSE ME FOR LIVING. I hope you poor people CHOKE on the $2.8M that was stolen from me by the IRS. Ingrates.
