I have no problem helping my fellow American citizens by paying higher tax rates if I am making $10 million per year. I guess I am not selfish, cold hearted, who cares not much for those Americans who are financially strapped.
Sorry, not buying,
With a flat tax you do pay more the more you earn.
Progressive taxation though is an abomination. Right up there with the politics of envy.
So you’d rather let government determine what to do with your money than you. you could actually donate that 5 million and earmark it towards the groups and/or individuals you actually wanted it to go to, instead of govt confiscating it and giving it to people who think they are entitled to it and still hate you for being so rich and uncaring.
