Give us a number. Should the 'super rich' top 1% pay, let's say, 25% of all taxes? Maybe they should pay 30% of all taxes? How about the top 10%? Should they pay, let's say, 40% of all taxes? Maybe 50%?
Tell us, how much extra burden should they bear? Give us some numbers.

How is it that having different tax rates for different people doesn't violate the Equal Protection Clause of the U S Constitution? If everyone had some skin in the game the amount of money the government confiscated from us would be a lot less.
Another good question to ask a liberal is what is the maximum percentage of income the government should be able to take from the people? Try and get them to state a specific percentage ... I have not encountered a single one who has given this any thought. Of those that I have pushed for an answer most will say 25%. Occationally I will get a 30%.
I then try and get them to support a constitutional amendment that would allow the government to tax up to 30% of income but no more. The vast majority of liberals I talk to support that position. Every single one of them was shocked to learn that the “rich” pay far more that in taxes already.
Setting him up...lol
