I'll do my darnedest to try and shed a tear for our high-earning citizens, but I can't make any promises.

You seem to wear your lack of empathy like a badge of honor.  Strange.  It takes all sorts, I guess.

I promise with all of my heart that if I ever earned close to $1m even over a 3 or 4 year contract let alone in a single year, the last word you would hear me utter would be how horrible it was that I ended up in a higher tax bracket.

We are a one car household and said car is 15 years old. We couldn't afford a repair this month because we spent $500 at the vet and had to put one of our pets down. Because of the lack of a second vehicle, I end up bicylcing my near 50-year old behind to work 3x weekly. I can't manage to save up for my kids' college because we are busy paying for their current extracurriculars, home, and monthly bills.

I'm not starving, nobody (besides the cat) is dying, but yeah, go ahead and shake your head at me if it makes you feel better.

Or do you just post self-righteous drivel on this board to get a reaction, and I just got whooshed? Frankly, I don't think you're that clever.
