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%? 1

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. Edited May 25 by SectionC3

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. 1
