I’m a 31 year old heterosexual single white male with a fairly promising career which equates to a well paying job.  I have zero kids, never been married, a semi-regular churchgoer, and as of yet have failed to find a home I’d be interested in purchasing.  No, this isn’t an ad for local singles in your area; it’s the makeup of an angry and abused segment of the American population – the Middle Class. 


April 15th Really Means Wealth Redistribution Day

I’m a 31 year old heterosexual single white male with a fairly promising career which equates to a well paying job.  I have zero kids, never been married, a semi-regular churchgoer, and as of yet have failed to find a home I’d be interested in purchasing.  No, this isn’t an ad for local singles in your area; it’s the makeup of an angry and abused segment of the American population – the Middle Class. 


I’m mad and insulted that I should be forced to pay for other peoples poor decisions on how they wish to manage their private affairs.  I’m continually reminded of this insult every time I drive past that multi-million dollar monstrosity called the DSS building.  How about rewarding me for making good decisions, instead of penalizing me by taking more of my money and redistributing it to those who are unaccomplished in the art of self-discipline? 


Now the government has chosen to further its slight against me by rewarding everyone in America with a rebate check in the amount of $300 or more.  I however am still forced to cut a rather large check to Uncle-Sugar when the tax man cometh on April 15, which is in addition to the exorbitant amount of money I’ve already paid into the system this past year.  Someone please explain to me why my wealth is continually being redistributed to fund entitlements for people who, according to the constitution anyways, are not my responsibility to support?!?!?!
