95% Tax Cut? Fairness? Rescue Legislation?

How about you just leave me alone? I'm a young man, I'm currently unemployed, and I'm about to start a term in college. I don't pay taxes right now, because my job hasn't started backup yet. So why would I expect a tax cut? That would be welfare and I don't want welfare; I want to left alone. The problem I see with this so called tax plan is that President Obama is basically giving away money we can't afford to give away. 30% of the 95% of Americans don't pay taxes, none, zilch. So why are we giving them a check? By the way I fall in that 30% and I don't want their money, I mean your money if your part of the top percentile in America. The way I see it, I can make my own cash at my job, which is a pretty good one I might add. No I don't work for some investment firm, or some big business. I work construction and make 15 bucks an hour, which is 130 dollars a day, and 695 bucks a week, every week. That's pretty good for a young lad like myself, feeling my way through life as a college student who didn't vote for Obama and doesn't subscribe to the idea that I'm owed something, because truth is I'm not. And you know what? You aren't either, so wise up and don't take the money. If you do then you're feeding a monster whose hunger will never be satisfied. Thomas Jefferson knew this to be true, that's why he said what I feel is the most important and relevant idea in human history: "That government is best which governs the least, because the people can govern themselves." I don't care how uncool I may be, that quote is the only form of legislation that we need right now. So why not turn those words into law? Oh right, we did transform those words into a document, it's called the Constitution. Remember that? President Obama.
