High income people got $100k tax cut.

I'm in that bracket. Where's my $100k?
In America, all people are born equal. But that's it. It's from that moment on that makes them different. There are plenty of success stories of people who dropped out of high school, had kids and are now doing quite well. I don't buy any "help the poor through taxes" agument. Proportionally, I will never see the benefits from my federal tax dollars that the lower tax brackets see.
And personally, I couldn't care less about the poor. I studied hard, and now work hard to live in a nice home in a nice neighborhood. And yes, I partied very hard in my early days. I just woke up and wanted some of the finer things. Now I have to help contribute to the poor by giving up more of my hard earned money. Give me a break. I should be rewarded, not punished. I benefit society (assumably). The poor leach off society (no assumption there). Who deserves more rewards - the self sufficent or the leaches?
I like my neighborhood. If the cops see a transient or "the wrong car" in my part of my City, the police will stop and question/arrest or transport out of the City limits. I like it that way. I don't go to poor neighborhoods and I don't want them coming to mine. There is no reason for them to even be there.
I get sick and tired of politicians, Hollywood types and the like, who have ridiculous numbers in their personal bank accounts and beleive that the "rich" should pay more taxes to help the poor.
I would love to see a list of the non-tax deductable donations these politicians have made to the poor in their life. I am confident it would be a short list. All they care about is saying the correct thing to the masses to get elected. As the "rich" is porportionally a smaller voting population, guess which one they will support. It's all BS and the mass magority really don't care if the poor live or die.
