Not surprisingly, you took my comment to the extreme. Your reading into something that isn't there - my feeling entitled to taking other people's stuff is a personal insult to a middle-class citizen, whose FICA tax contributions have been based on 100 percent of income for decades. Then again, I'm not into personal insults, just responses to comments, so I won't return the "favor."
