I mean fuck, I used to live in TX and we knew he was doing that as governor!
I'm going to have to go out on a limb here and say that the taxes you are paying arent your main problem. It would be nice if people faced up to their financial issues instead of looking for a scapegoat or a crutch. Mike (Raptor) once said something that has always stuck with me, and that is that people are always waiting for someone else to solve their problems. Even making minimum wage you can afford to have a place to live, transportation, and put yourself through school. A couple years ago I had a teacher who had immigrated from China. He supported his wife and kid on something like $75 per week while he got an education to become a teacher.

I just cant stand it when people bitch about how bad they have it when others who obviously started off much worse are able to turn things around in a relatively short period of time. I just dont have sympathy for those who wont help themselves.
