Sure I did. Everyone else does as well. Because someone who is poor, or chose a lower paying profession than I did then they get to pay a lower percentage of taxes to help fund those same institutions? Why do I pay more while they don't?
I do agree with alot of what pan6467 had to say. I do think it's a shame that we outsource jobs and transplant industries overseas. I'd like to see them comeback to our country as well. But what about those of us who create jobs and promote higher wages? I don't employ a large number of people, but I guarentee they are paid far more than standard wages. Again, I'm not a heartless bastard. Maybe my views in running a business are different than most, but I have been blessed over the years and realize I wouldn't be where am today if it weren't for some of the people working for me.
