I don't know why that persistent drum beat
of not paying a "fair share" sets me off so
much, but it does.
No one actually can explain what they mean.

i'll continue to wait along with you for their definition of "fair share"

ps..

i wonder if those who complain are contributing *more* than the current "unfair" share....seems nothing is stopping them from adding individually according to their sense of "fairness"..... more tax.

Hows this for an explanation.

Taxpayer A makes $80K/year and pays 40% in taxes including fica, federal income tax and any relevant state. (approx).

Taxpayer B makes $150K/year and pays 32%, this would be 40% on the first 85K of earnings and the federal rate on the final 65K.

The higher earner pays LESS in taxes. Sound fair to you? Doesn't sound fair to me.
