First of all, I'm in the top two percent. Right now, I'm paying 45% of my total income in income taxes, both to the state of Connecticut and to the federal government, and if you take the 3% Medicare tax. After the tax hikes go into effect next year, more than half -- more than half of my total income is going to go to the government.
You tell me, what's fair about that when medieval serfs pay 25%, I'm paying half? I don't care what the majority voted to do, they don't have a right to steal my money just because they vote for it.

What they don't have is an ethical right, but we aren't going to get too far with that either. Greed trumps ethics nine times out of ten. As other posters have said, there's not really an awful lot we can do about it. Of course, eventually the whole thing will collapse, as all systems based on wishful thinking rather than truth do. But I don't take too much comfort from that either.

I turned away from tyranny again and again, until finally they came for me.
Your quote welcomes me to my fate. Men without chests. Hollow men. Cowed into submission.
Not I.
