Here's one.  Why should you and Terry Pegula have the same marginal tax rate?  Everyone should pay their fair share.  Done.  

Their fair share.  A phrase created by politicians to gain support using class warfare to further divide us.  To me fair is I make a buck a year and pay 10 cents in taxes.  My boss makes a thousand dollars and pays a hundred dollar in taxes.  We both paid our fair share.  He contributed much more to the overall pot but I have no reason to resent him.  What's your definition of "fair share?"  Is it 40% for the top income bracket?  60%? 90%?

Carrying the water for the rich folks.  Well done.  Whatever the number is -- maybe it's even 37 -- it's a lot more than it would be in your flat tax idea.  So if you're all for more giveaways to the rich, then go for it.  We agree to disagree.

And, I can't believe I missed this.  A Trump voter complaining about class warfare.  This is rich.  Trump thrives on demonizing and dividing.  But "fair share" is unacceptable.

That's fine man.  I just get a kick out of people who say the wealthy should pay their "fair share" in a progressive tax system.  In the same way I see Republicans twisting themselves into pretzels trying to justify tariffs when they know it's just a regressive tax hurting lower income groups the most.
