I've had several employees call me up asking why their checks are so much less now. I explain to them that it's the tax increase and they say they thought it was only for the wealthy. I tell them "congratulations, you are now wealthy according to our government". I started dumping more into my 401K and HSA account to protect it from being taxed, but it still sucks.

	Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
