Is this where we drop a "pay their fair share" line?

So we should not be taxing earnings? Is that the new talking point?

I don't feel sorry for someone making 20M a year having to pay 9M in taxes. His one year salary will be more than I will ever make in a lifetime.

No one asked you to feel sorry for anyone

This isn’t about you and your feelings. The OP was pointing out how insane it is to get 20mm on draft night and pay nearly half of that in taxes. If you were better at basketball I’d assume you wouldn’t enjoy paying 9mm in taxes either

Saw an interview where the blown out shoe is at his moms house and they have already been offered North of $250k for it!

That would be a side cash deal if i had that shoe, lol

Because the government getting half of someone's earnings is insane

Why? I quite enjoy living here. I would like it to stay nice. That's not free. If you're not willing to show your patriotism with your dollar, what's the point?

Correct.

I'm against all taxation, but if we're going to have them, then they should be collected when we voluntarily spend our wealth, not taken by force when we earn it.
