10. As an avid conservative, I'm fucking sick of Country Club Democrats.
Conservatives work hard, so it's not really fair that a snot-nosed trust fund liberal gets a free ride on their taxes.

We need to tax the limosine liberals properly:

*Tax capital gains at the same rate as income from work: Lazy Democrat elitists riding on their portfolio should have to pay just as much as hardworking Republicans.

*Keep a robust inheritance tax for large estates: It's not fair that a latte liberal doesn't have to pay taxes on daddy's money, whereas conservatives who actually work for a living do pay taxes.

*Raise the marginal tax rate for the richest Americans: After eight years of Clinton, it's hard for a working person to make ends meet, so the tax burden should be placed on the brie and cheese commies. Money used to buy a second yacht should be taxed at a much higher rate than money used to put food on the table.

I'm a bit confused, however, as to why the GOP has been running the show for six years, but haven't implemented such policies.
