Won't somebody please think of the millionaires!!!

My wife and I paid over $3000 dollars in state and local taxes last year not including federal income taxes and we cannot afford a pension or decent healthcare. The only healthcare insurance we can afford is over $500 per month for $10,000 deductable with no drug coverage. I have no problem furnishing public employees with pensions and healthcare from our taxes but first the government must leave us enough money to provide for ourselves.
