I think we need to be careful when pointing fingers because, eventually, we're going to be pointing at ourselves. I do not believe in a flat tax, even thought that (by definition) is the fairest solution. I am only saying it gets really tricky, really fast when we talk about things such as "fair share,"
Look, let's get this out of the way before we proceed. Poverty sucks, living near poverty level sucks; and life is not "fair." Never has been. Never will be. In the times of ancient Greece, some people lived in squalor while others enjoyed luxury. Today, most people living in Somalia have a much lower standard of living than even America's poorest citizens. It's all perspective.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not a fan of Donald J. Trump – not by a longshot, but I have some very bad news for the Democrats and all the others who can’t stomach the thought of Trump sitting in the Oval Office: -- You have much bigger and much more significant problems than Donald Trump.
