My office mate is big time liberal. One of things we would get into it about was taxation. He wants the rich to be taxed at a higher rate. I simply asked, don't you believe in equality, that all people should be treated the same? He says absolutely and launches into all the racism, how the rich get away with this and that. I tell him that all people should be taxed the same. 15% of 100 thousand, should be 15% of 5 million. They do pay more proportionately. I try to reason with him explaining that for some people, the plus 100k he makes is rich. Should we tax you at a higher rate? Of course he says no. I explain that lots of those people actually worked the tails off, or spent a lot of time and money in college etc. to get what they have. And some, not all, provide jobs. I tell him I am sorry that you didn't choose that path, however that doesn't make them bad. He doesn't care. Sure the rich, famous, and politically powerful get away with literally murder. I don't know what to do with that. Just for me, I think everyone should be taxed the same except the mentally or physically handicapped.
