Thom Hartmann: Caller: Tax Cuts Are Not a Gift!

Source:Thom Hartmann mostly likely talking to a Tea Party supporter from Virginia.

"Thom Hartmann talks with a Conservative from Virginia who says tax cuts are not a gift because it was the tax payer's money to begin with." 

From Thom Hartmann

Steak houses must be serving nothing but vegetables now, especially their buffets, because I think I just agreed with Thom Hartmann on something, who at times can make Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders seem like a moderate. Hard to do, but not mission impossible.

I guess I would just phrase this differently. I don't want to say that taxes are the price that we pay for a civilized society, or even a free society. But they are the price that any free society pays to have a functional, responsible, but limited government. 

Wealthy people and I'm talking about millionaires and above, shouldn't pay 15% in income taxes, when Joe and Mary Jones, (or whoever) are paying 10-20% and only making 40,000 dollars a year and struggling just to get by. Taxes are what any responsible person pays for the government services that they receive, in a free, civilized, society.
