It means they get 95% and you get whatever they feel like you should keep.

The only thing fair is birth and death.

Typical non-specific or measurable criteria that can always be a talking point.

Rhetorical question, right? I’ve heard this bullshite for 40 years. Nobody defines what’s fair in the Demorat party. Never. Not politician, consultant, and media. Nobody. It’s like every divisive issue. They will raise it, but never define it. Wax poetic, you m effers.

Not only taxes, but everything else they virtue signal about.

"Fair" is one of those empty words like "justice" that are used to elicit emotional reactions from Useful Idiots.

Works every time.

Their idea of “fair” is Zimbabwe under Mugabe.

And would be about as successful economically and agriculturally.

When you make more money, why should you have to pay more percent in taxes? More money at x % is still greater than less money at x%.... I’ll never understand this! If I pay $500k in taxes on me and my wife per year, isn’t that ENOUGH?!?! Who gives a shite about percentage - we use the same damn roads that you do - my $500k goes a LOT FURTHER than your $25k towards pothole repair!

Fair is a place where you ride the Ferris wheel and eat cotton candy.

Other than that, it should have nothing to do with life.

Well the 1% earn 17% of income and pay 28% of taxes, so fair is clearly more than that.

Fair is probably that "they" pay a higher percentage of the taxes and that the higher percentage is of a bigger number.

Fair is also that the 2nd and third percent pay more too. We can probably have some.sort.of Truth Commission to determine who should pay more. There are probably some poor who think wrong who need to pay more so they can learn to think right too.

They want more taxes for the rich but part of the stimulus plan is a cut for blue states because their state taxes are too much.

Dim logic

it’s because after they pay those taxes they have more left over. 50% tax rate on an NFL owner isn’t the same as 50% tax rate on me

The problem is that half of the people pay no tax whatsoever. Everyone should share some burden of paying for all that shite.
