So lets be equitable and everyone pay 25%.
People are just plain ignorant.
Many years ago I learned..."Give a poor man a dollar and he'll spend it. Give a rich man a dollar and he'll turn it into two.
Everybody, makers and takers need to spend 40% of their working hours as slaves to the gov’t. THAT would be fair. It’s not the money, it’s the time subtracted from our personal allotment.
