"our rich folk don't pay enough in taxes."

Yes, like Jesus said, " when I was hungry you told someone else to give me food to drink; when I was thirsty, you complained about how rich people weren't giving me something to drink; when I was a stranger, you advocated that the government send me to somewhere you don't live." Charity is best when you can do it with someone else's money - all the warm fuzzies; none of the sacrifice.
