[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really doesn't matter if it's a "want" or a "need".   If you earned it, it's YOURS.   No one should be able to take that away from you.

It's also yours to give away if that's what you believe is the right thing to do.   No one will stop you from writing a check out to the government in whatever amount you would like.[/quote]

You know, I don't totally agree with the argument "I earned this money and it's all mine." Have you ever sat down and thought about all the advantages most of us with money had at one point or another? In many cases, we got here through a combination of family privileges, federal loans, public schools, etc. This isn't to deny that those working hard deserve to be rewarded, but just to make clear that the notion of a "self-made" man or woman is mostly myth.[/quote]

I'm not one of the "most of us with money"...Our HHI is FAR below 200k.   I still think YOU deserve to keep your own money, regardless of whether you got in on your own merit or if you inherited it from generations before you that earned it  themselves.[/quote]
