The poor get screwed first, true enough, but they often get screwed less. I know several 'poor' people who keep under the poverty level on purpose and pay no taxes. They always seem to always have money for cigarettes and beer. It's even better if you're poor and illegal.

My latest wonder is why, after all these years of being told we pay taxes to support our roads and schools, every major new road around here is a toll road and private schools are becoming the norm since public schools are a breeding ground for the sex drugs and rock n' roll set.
