I have no problem with increased taxes. I actually think they're needed. I do have an issue with people who are responsible and benefit from creating structural inequality expecting those who suffer as a result to shoulder disproportionate shares of the burden, while they largely benefit from that exploitation
So yea, let me know your net worth, monthly income, and where it falls in relation to Americans as a whole we can go from there in drawing up a fair proposal

Ok, so here is what I propose to address your concerns:
I own a 6 flat in E Lakeview, gorgeous building near the lakefront, and have a vacant 3 bed/1 bath. Assuming it rents for $2900:
$2900 X 12 = approx. $35k per year
Your reported pay is $30k. Multiply by 30% = $9k per year.
To the same poor, unfortunate family whom the world is working against, I will give away an apartment and you give them 30% of your salary. We won't ask any questions, we'll just do it out of the goodness of our hearts.
That's my $35k against your $9k. I'm contributing WAY more, which is what you are asking me to do.
Do we have a deal?
