Hannity is in that portion (highhhhh income) that will feel the brunt of the taxes. Atlas is about to shrug. Overtax the achievers, and they'll stop working. They'll pull their money, sit back, and wait for things to change. I didn't find anything on the minimum wage earners specifically, but the study I found showed that the middle segment of the middle class (approx 20% of the population) will be paying about 50% more in federal taxes. Minimum wage earners don't pay taxes, anyhow. They typically get back more than they give. All part of the redistribution. It frustrates me when Justin/ jrmmiii and Cheech say "go find facts", but its actually a good thing. I'm not going to convince them to be conservative, and they're not going to convince me to be liberal. Having to back up statements is not a bad thing. Thats not to say that I'm going to go pull sources on everything I post, but I may think twice before posting it. For example, I had a rant last week where I said something to the effect of "liberals want to save trees, but kill babies". Find a source? Not worth it, when its a recognized truth. I think its interesting (and sometimes maddening) to see how the other side thinks, whatever the "other side" may be. At least things are usually kept fairly civil.
