Maybe I am? Either way it's bullshit. People shouldn't be taxed harder because they are successful. 

You are exactly who I thought you were. A person who's jealousy expands into theft. You can't make something for yourself so you take it from others.

Umm, okay. 

Also, if you were in the top income bracket, I doubt you'd be posting here.

It astounds me how defensive you guys get. It's like you identify with these billionaires or something. Nobody is talking about you, so stop making it personal and just learn to discuss the topic.

By the way, the only thing I legitimately envy about people who are wealthier than I am is the ability to travel more often. If I won the lottery I'd spend the next several years just traveling to new places with my family.

You wouldn't give it all away? You hypocrite!

Dang, forgot to log into my T.G. account.

It astounds me that you guys go back and forth on this stuff day after day after day after day after...

I engaged on stuff for just a little bit and I've had enough.

Of course, you'd prefer I didn't contribute because my view is usually contrary to yours...

Don't worry, I don't have the energy for this stuff.

Right. I obviously come here because it's a lib echo chamber. 

Also it was a joke.

You have zero clue who I am or what I do. The only thing you know about me is from what I post on here and cals’ silly comments. This isn’t some sort of bubble that is elusive to successful people. Not everyone on here is poor and fat.

You have zero clue about me, yet you made assumptions long before I did. The only assumption I made was that you aren't a billionaire, which I'm 99.9% confident about.

I have you marked for being gay so I apologize if you’re not poor.

If there is one thing about the spin forum.  There are bait lures everywhere.  You just got to learn not to get hooked.

Trout not playing and making a ton of money is basically stealing 

No it's just a benefit of being a member of one of the strongest unions in the country

I don't think "rich people" are evil. I think the richest of the rich got there through many unethical means, and that they could do more to give back to the world instead of going on joy rides to Earth's orbit.

How do you know how much they do or don’t give to help others? What a terribly cynical view.

So what? How much good can be done with that amount?

Would you support government oversight of welfare recipients personal finances? If Uncle Sam has a responsibility to tax and limit a rich man’s wealth, doesn’t he also have a responsibility to make sure the money is spent frugally?

But they do.

And they are the ones writing it off.

Most of us probably gave more as a percentage of our income.
