>> "but only pay 45% of taxes. We should be asking if that's enough" How much is enough? We often hear that the wealthy should "pay their fair share." But we rarely hear a concrete figure. Look. I work 3 jobs and bring in about $200,000 per year. I work hard and diligently for that money. I use it to provide for my wife and kids and our future. And I paid nearly $60,000 in taxes in 2015. I don't want to pay any more. I'm fed up with how much of my hard-earned income disappears by way of taxation. More taxes subtract from my kids' future. More taxes subtract from dates with my wife. More taxes subtract from my retirement when I am old and unable to provide for myself. How much tax is enough? What, exactly, is my "fair share"? Everyone likes to demonize the rich 1%, but few concede the reality that we in technology are all rich. Heck, even the poor in the US are rich by the world's standards. We "rich" people are not all demons whose money is an infinite fountain waiting to be sapped by those without. No: we work hard for that. And we have families. Some of us hold multiple jobs in order to provide for ourselves and our kids. So I ask, how much is enough? Give a specific tax percentage you think I, as a husband and dad of 2 children, ought to pay to the federal government, and please tell us compellingly why you feel entitled to take my hard-earned money away from me and my wife and kids.
