That is a nice story Tom, obviously very heart felt.

That being said, in the few years I have been reading PP, I don't recall 1 post where someone has advocated not helping someone up when needed and I doubt those people exist here.

But what pisses me off is the hypocrisy of a post like McMahon's. When asked about a flat tax, his first reaction is "don't take any of my money, everyone else can do it, not me", followed by a STFU That shows a very selfish attitude IMO and I hope I am wrong, this is the internet after all.

And finally, if he had actually read the damn tax proposal he would see that the Fair Tax raises taxes on the wealthy, something he has advocated all along.
