Ah, youth is wasted on the young....
I could have written your "rant" 20 years ago. I probably did write something like it at one point or another, although it was certainly couched in much more obvious Marxist-Leninist terms.
You would hate me now, especially since I've far exceeded your numbers. Just like C4Fan, I've worked hard at a job I love. I'd probably work for a lot less, but I'll admit that the payoffs are very nice.
I pay more than my fair share of taxes, and I don't try to hide anything or weasel out of what I rightfully owe. And if you think that's irresponsible, sorry, kid. Wait until you get a dose of real life. It sounds like you haven't had that yet.
