Here we go again. People who pay little or no taxes complaining about those who pay the bulk of state revenue.
“Not paying their fair share.” On the whole, they’re paying more than YOU — a lot more. “Fair share” seems to be a pretty subjective criterion and no doubt upon stealing 70%, the drones of envy would then want 80% and upward. The next step is then, the middle class “paying their fair share.” After that, the great communal command center spirals everyone down to equally “fair-shared” economic destitution.
I’m not rich — not even close — but if I would ever become so, I’d want the state and its boot-lickers to keep their greedy minions from stealing my economic status. Envy is just another type of greed. There’s nothing wise or insightful about the ancient character flaw of jealousy.
And, just what is all this needed money for anyway, so the state can further enhance its power and authority over all....so it can then command more theft?
Death and taxes aren’t going to disappear from the human experience. Apparently, either is envy and the anger directed at those who have more.
When subjected to genuine critical analysis,...wealth envy, in the guise of “fair” taxation just isn’t that impressive.
I’ve got an idea, raise taxes on the rich (start with Obama’s pals at Amazon) under the condition that it will always be directed to local governments and not the central mega-state. Of course, that wouldn’t fly because the issue isn’t really about fairness. Its about feeding an insatiable political beast that wants nothing more than power over the wealth and souls of all.
