    What a load of crap. The top 1% of income earners are currently paying 40% of all the income taxes. I think they have a pretty good idea they have an obligation to pay back into the system.

    You still drop back to that distortion of facts. Idiot.

    Income isn’t wealth though and you resist every effort to tax the vastly wealthy.

    So is Bernie rich and not paying his fair share or is he not rich and the rest of us should be taxed less along with him?

    So you disagreed with the first mulatto president when he told us $250K was rich?
    I disagreed with the Clintons when they said 65k a year was rich.

    Contrary to many, being comfortable doesn't take a lot of money.

    If you choose to acquire real estate, a wife, kids, boats, vacations to nice places, season tickets, RVs, organic foods, CrossFit, skiing, and so forth life becomes expensive.

    Passive income can be generated by anyone. Does that make you rich?

    If you can dependably generate a passive income that meets your reasonable needs and wants without any necessity that you ever work again, then I would call that rich enough. One million dollars will not do that.

    Maybe it's your lifestyle causing the problem. Not the million dollars.

    If you invest a million with Bernie Maddoff you get 100 grand a year guaranteed in passive income

    What a wonderful man Bernie was. Great human being. The HBO movie about Bernie is worth a watch.

    How much passive income do you think 1 million dollars dependably produces?

    Good, so we agree that taxes should go down for the majority of Americans. Glad that's solved.

    How much income tax do you think the majority of Americans pay now?
