[quote=Anonymous][quote=TheManWithAUsername][quote=Anonymous]Everyone agrees that a couple making 400K a year is wealthy. And if you ask people on the street, many will say that those people aren't paying enough in taxes. If they don't say that, they sure don't sound grateful for the 50% we are contributing. I'm not looking for gratitude but I don't want to be told I don't pay my fair share and that I should [i]start [/i]giving something back.[/quote]
I don't understand. You say you're not looking for gratitude while complaining that hypothetical people don't sound grateful (have you asked them?). Then you switch to complaining about people saying that you should start giving something back - have you actually heard that much?

"Fair share" is different. Obviously, whenever there's a disagreement over proper rates, the sides are disagreeing over what's fair. There's nothing personal about each side thinking that only they have the "fair" solution - that's the entire nature of the dispute.[/quote]

My position is I don't need gratitude but I don't want to be denigrated and called selfish. That's a reasonable position. I hear politicians saying the wealthy need to "give back more" all the time - and you do too. I am told the wealthy need to pay their fair share and that they aren't. I give 50%. I don't want to give more. In fact, I want to give somewhat less and I still do not think that is selfish or unfair. [/quote]
