What if I have a rich uncle I've never heard of? What if he leaves me a huge inheritance? What if I start playing the lotto? What if I win millions of dollars? What if I got a plumber's license? What if I ssaved up enough to buy my own plumbing business? What if it were wildly profitable? Why should I as a theoretically rich person, pay taxes on my imaginary earnings? Why? Just to help out some loser like me? Woman: What if stupid people just shut up? Man: Now that's unimaginable.
Hard work is not an indicator of success in this country. If that was true our recent immigrant population would be wildly successful. If Joe thinks plumbing for 12 hours is hard try picking lettuce or strawberries in the hot sun for 12 hours and then get back to me. How many Americans can do such back breaking work everyday? McCain is just trying to let Cyndi keep her millions. Wonder how hard she worked for her $100,000,000.
