survival in a fiat system is not selfishness....collectivism is only as good as how free the system is...
your crying about paying fair share just validates this fiat cast system with tax brackets and imposed value that is placed by some obscure 'expert'....
you seem to play their tune for them and then complain about your paying more than your fair share based on the system you support....
if you were able to forage for yourself (no fiat just your own sweat) and managed to get 100 apples more than your neighbor do you give them all back because it's more than your fair share?
FLAT TAX NO FED RESERVE NO WORLD BANK NO GMO
the UN will make sure Box and friends are just as equal as everyone else using their own system against them
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

The Swiss government is considering a proposal to disclose bank client names and pay a multibillion-dollar fine to the United States to help resolve a long-running dispute between the two countries over the handling of tax-evasion cases, American and Swiss sources briefed on the matter said on Tuesday.
The fine, which could reach at least $7 billion to $10 billion according to these people, could be paid in part by the Swiss government, which would then seek reimbursement from the banks.

because FIAT as we know it will disappear....and you nor I will ever know what 'the rich' have because soon there will be no sovereign states/money,,,,,there are no borders on the internet and the same jackasse$ that are telling you someone has more than you or that they don't pay their 'fair share' ...STILL WON'T BE PAYING THAT SUPPOSED FAIR SHAIR....but they will put it on a spoon and tell you they tweaked a percentage to tip the scale in your favor and you will eat it.....
your leaders/handlers only want you to know what they want you to know.....BIGGER PICTURE THERE BOX
there is no team 'on your side', just some ear ticklers to keep the status quo.....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

Wealth warps your perspective and makes you less ethical
Quoted Text
Across multiple studies, researchers at the University of California at Berkeley have found that being in the upper-class predisposes individuals to acting unethically.
Studies conducted by psychology professor Paul Piff found those who drive luxury cars were less likely to stop for pedestrians, those with more money were more likely take candy from children, and the wealthiest among us were more likely to cheat in a game with a $50 cash prize. Researchers at UC Berkeley have also found lower-class individuals are more physiologically attuned to the suffering of others than their middle- and upper-class counterparts.
Though some might assume the wealthy gained their riches due to their unethical behavior, the effect appears to work in the opposite direction. Being wealthy is what drives the unethical behavior.

How many murders take place in upper class neighborhoods, how many rich people go on home invasions, how many our prostituting themselves, I don't buy this. Although I will volunteer my time and do a study if you guys want to find out, all I need is $50,000 from each forum member and I will be the guinea pig, I will let everyone know if the money changes the way I act or treat others.

even if the rich were taxed at 90% it will not raise the value of the $$ or the access....
if the fiat we use to trade now didn't exist we wouldn't be having this problem....fiat was made for ACCESS not wealth....
does monetary wealth equal access? maybe it's the doors to what one wants to access that is broken.....I should be able to access ANYTHING regardless of monetary wealth....
you see, if those folks lost their monetary wealth does that mean they lose access/power?
numbers of humans equal more power than piles of paper money or clicks on a computer other wise police/military would be useless.....
I'm no 1%'er but envy/jealousy are killers......
who/what defines 'fair share' for me? who/what decides when I have had enough?
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

what makes us think we'll even have a dollar fiat anymore or be able to tell who is 'rich'....wealth is much more than just $$$

The poll found that many Americans believe rich people to be intelligent and hardworking but also greedy and less honest than the average American. Nearly six in 10, or 58 percent, say the rich don't pay enough in taxes, while 26 percent believe the rich pay their fair share and 8 percent say they pay too much.
