To those of you who aren’t billionaires, keep in mind that “taxing the rich” means just a tiny increase to them. And it does NOT mean the gov is coming for your money next. Just the opposite. The gov won’t need more from you when billionaires pay their fair share.

Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.

We are told government funded healthcare won’t work… by elected representatives who enjoy government funded healthcare.
