This is a great question to ask any liberal. Of every dollar I earn how much do I deserve to keep?

Liberals are programmed to say that you should pay “more” because you are not paying your “fair share.” So I ask, “what is the fair share I should pay”.

I’m not kidding when I say no one has been able to answer this question.

Some typical responses, and my response to them:

1. That depends on how much you earn.

“OK give me an example.” or
“Assume I’m in the highest tax bracket”

2. You shouldn’t object to just x% more.

“OK. But tell me the right amount. What is my fair share.”

3. I don’t know how much it is but it’s more than 35%.

“If you don’t know how much it is, how do you know it’s more than 35%?” or

“I now pay almost 50% (in New York City). Is it more than 50%? How much more.

If anyone is able to get the actual answer to the question “What’s my fair share” please post it!!

But how would you respond if they just said "If you make more than, e.g., $100,000 per annum, the state should take 90%!" without blinking an eye?

“What’s my fair share”

Send ALL of it in-and then whatever of your income your Federal Government and Ms.Schakowsky decide you deserve, you’ll get a “refund”silly boy.
