If I won the lottery tomorrow, I’m sure I’d have to pay more, both in dollars and in percentage. I’m cool with that. I’m in that 53%, I’m also in that 20% that has to pay their kids entire college tab (which is why I’m up late, I was required to fill out the financial aid forms even though mine won’t be getting any). But I don’t care. I know some people who are poor and some who could be considered working poor. People who worry about making the rent, each and every month, sometimes they don’t make it. I pay a lot, but I never worry about not eating or having a roof over my head I’m no better than the guy who is making minimum wage and scraping by, so what if I pay his share too, at the end of the day, my life is better than his. Don’t tell me it’s hard work either, even my work is easier and more fun than the woman who cleans my office and I earn in an hour what she earns in a day. This life will end way to soon for all of us, this is one game nobody wins, so stop worrying about your fair share or what someone else has and thank your lucky stars that there’s always a bottle of cabernet on the table and a basketball game on tv. Pay your taxes and enjoy the rest.
