Were it not for all the talking points and rhetoric you'd probably get more people to agree with you on that.

If it were not for your ardent support of Barack Obama, people would not be questioning whether you are really a net federal taxpayer.

It is a pretty well established fact that when additional taxes are collected, government spending rises. Knowing this fact, why would a sane federal income tax payer support an additional tax on their earnings?

(A net federal income taxpayer is one who does not receive a larger refund at the end of the year than the amount of taxes he or she paid or had withheld by his or her employer.)
