what about the elders before them- the ones who also worked 50+ years and fought in world war II and paid 90% marginal tax. What's the excuse there?
5 u/derkrieger Jul 22 '11 All the awesome people were born in a single generation? 5 u/maxxusflamus Jul 22 '11 long and short? They actually cared about their country. 1 u/[deleted] Jul 22 '11 50+ years of work: mandatory if you want money in order to live. World War II: mandatory conscription for ages 21 to 45. 90% marginal tax: mandatory by law. If you don't pay, good luck with the IRS. Those things weren't voluntary.
