But do those who were successful (and success requires luck, not just a motivation, even Warren Buffet says this), deserve to pay less than those who are mildly successful, or poor? Because that is a thing and was pointed out in the article specifically. Many of the highest earners pay less proportionately than those in the middle class (or poor in some cases).
Finally Successful does not necessarily mean it is earned success. Inheritance (or just being born into an upper class family and all of its benefits) is not earned and can in many cases lead to being 'successful'.

- ItendToDisagree 13y agoYou do not address the point that has been brought up many times so far; why should anyone (especially those people who are 'successful' and have arguably benefited most from society) pay a smaller portion than anyone else. Reducing to absurdity seems to be your only way to respond to anyone in this thread. It makes you sound pretty trollish and makes your comments hard to take seriously.
