I worked 2 jobs to put myself through college while starting a business. I ate cup of noodles for 1 year almost exclusively (bulk at costco), worked on my business with my partners (all classmates) until 3:00AM even if there were exams at 8:00AM the next day (for 3 years), lugged around desktop computers every day to an apartment, had NO weekends, and guess what? I make over $200,000 / yr now and I employ 6 people, putting food on the their tables. I deserve every penny that I make, and I deserve every tax cut that I receive. I lived like a slave for 5 years to build what I have now. The difference between have and have-nots? Haves have found the courage to change their situtation even with no guarantees of success, while the have-nots like to play victim and blame everybody else. If I didn't make what I make now do you know what I would do? Not complain about the rich people getting tax cuts. I would figure out a way to become one of those rich people.
Oh and I'm sure when Warren Buffet decided to donate his WHOLE fortune to charity, all he was thinking about was write offs....
