Fact: People with low incomes actually pay a much higher percentage of their total income in taxes. So get off your high horse and stop acting like a sociopathic douche, paying federal income taxes doesn't make you superior to the Americans who don't, but it does seem to make some of you self-righteous dicks...
Fact: Your silly little *pull yourself up by your own boot straps* rugged individual mentality doesn't bear any resemblance to reality. Your struggle to the top didn't happen in a fucking vacuum. Your ability to get anywhere in our society is a direct result of the labors and sacrifices of every American who came before you, most likely your own parents...
Fact: In striking similarity to conservative opinion regarding anthropogenic climate change, most of what conservatives state as fact about economic matters is also complete bullshit...
Fact: As demonstrated by the above chart, you can stop blaming Obama for our current clusterfuck, because it was actually caused by the idiot you voted for - twice!
Finally that friendly message to the people who call themselves the 53 percent. It's great that you make enough money to pay federal income taxes, don't fall over patting yourself on the back. However you're overlooking the fact that unless you were born into wealth it takes multiple jobs, or acquiring nearly insurmountable levels of debt, or both, just to get to where you are. Yet you're somehow deluded enough to believe that you're living the American dream...
That's the fact Jack, oh and by the way, have you ever heard about a thing called Stockholm syndrome? Look it up, and while you're at it stop blaming the fucking victims...
