The Angry White Man is angry because he Voted for Bush in two consecutive terms and still doesn't realize how much of a retard he is.

I'm actually somewhat tired of these arguments and articles that basically reflect the same thing. The angry white man hates mexicans, racist or not having a real agenda the angry white man has had something done to him in the past from a "spanish" man, possibly his wife had cheated on him with the pool boy, Jose, whatever the case may be.

Though ,the Angry white man should have reason to be upset, I do agree with you on many points, but the entrepeneuership aspect of the argument I see as just being a complainer, yes you're going to have to pay a shit load of taxes, but get over it that's one of the many battles of owning your own company. Yes, if you happen to own a construction company, OR ANY COMPANY THAT SPECALIZES IN MANUAL LABOR, you're going to get a lot of possible immigrants, illegal or not, as well as the whtie trash unskilled workers of the world, it's both sides of the argument.

I guess I can somewhat fall into this category, but i'm not adamately placing it because of race, that's just stupid. There are Pissed of Men everywhere, all colors race size shape, as well as Women. There are a lot of pissed off Americans, and I would more-so argue that it's because of this never ending war, the gas prices that have skyrocketed while the Vice prez's company is profiting like nothing ever seen in the history of this world, as well as Prez Bush's daddy's company is over in Iraq drilling as well and profiting like crazy, New laws and regulations are pissing people off, just the way thigns have been running for almost the past Decade have really pissed people off, which is why I want Obama. Even though he may not have that long of a track record, I do feel he has the adequate judgement to help this country progress back to greatness, and really just empower the people to feel good about themselves again, somewhat similar to the Bill Clinton era when things we're running greatly, we just need a change.

I have many points to make here, I didn't vote for Bush, the only thing I like about him is his tax rate cuts, revenue increases, without them I will lose almost $30 per week, and with rent being $1200 it would hurt.

I don't see what race has to do with anything, an illegal is an illegal. Yes yes, my ancestors were immigrants too, but they watied in line. For example my uncle Pedro, from northern Africa/Portugal. He played the game worked for his citizenship and he resents the fact that people can just hop the border and get a piece of this American Dream, if you want to call it that. That was 25 years ago and to this day, the day he became a citizen is the proudest day of his life to him.

And while I agree that corruption has brought alot of big companies high profits, you must understand that vast percentages of these companies are owned by shareholders, normal people with retirement funds like teachers and firefighters.

Let me see if I can put this into perspective... ah here http://seekingalpha.com/article/6313..._editors_picks

Over the last three years, Exxon Mobil has paid an average of $27 billion annually in taxes. That's $27,000,000,000 per year, a number so large it's hard to comprehend. Here's one way to put Exxon's taxes into perspective.

According to IRS data for 2004, the most recent year available:

Total number of tax returns: 130 million

Number of Tax Returns for the Bottom 50%: 65 million

Adjusted Gross Income for the Bottom 50%: $922 billion

Total Income Tax Paid by the Bottom 50%: $27.4 billion

Conclusion: In other words, just one corporation (Exxon Mobil) pays as much in taxes ($27 billion) annually as the entire bottom 50% of individual taxpayers, which is 65,000,000 people! Further, the tax rate for the bottom 50% is only 3% of adjusted gross income ($27.4 billion / $922 billion), and the tax rate for Exxon was 41% in 2006 ($67.4 billion in taxable income, $27.9 billion in taxes).

This article represents to me, every American who has earned what they have, love freedom, and recognize the fact that entitlement spending will end us all.

Calling me names will not further your point, Grav.
