Chris, it's always the other guy that is selfish. Your house is under contract...profit is tax free. If they were hitting you with 20% you might be at the party. Not that you couldn't afford it but maybe you be a little POed what they were doing with your money.

But with little skin in the game...it's easy for you to call them selfish.

Now they want to mandate you pay health insurance premiums while exempting Unions and fed government workers.

When all this hits you in the gut you'll change your tune.

Don't tax you, don't tax me, tax the guy behind the tree.

Too bad our Treasury head and chief tax writer don't render to caesar what is caesar - both are tax cheats.

"Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's" is totally non-committal about what is Caesar's. It isn't a blanket support for taxes of any type at any level.

As for "selfish", taking from others is a far more selfish act than trying to keep others from increasing the amount they forcefully take from you.
