Nice strawman.

You might want to look up "strawman" and figure out how to use the term properly.

Well, I lost you, but others can see.

A straw man is a component of an argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent’s position.[1] To “attack a straw man” is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the “straw man”), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position

That is exactly what you did. I never claimed nor would I claim that you should or any should give “me” half of what you owe. I never said that. I said that there needs to be a happy medium. You took that to mean I am for taxing you into the poor house.
