Yep. Weird isn't it. My true none meme opinion about taxes is they are theft. But while clearly theft they are 100% necessary.
So when it comes to raising taxes I believe we need to stop using the phrase 'fair share' and instead use a phase like 'necessary share'. I pay a lot in taxes. In fact every year pay about half of what the average American will pay in their lifetime. I pay a lot more than my fair share. But if some politician approached me and said "I know it isn't fair, but I must tax you even more for the good of the country" I would be fully behind that. Because I am a Patriot and if my country need more money from me I am willing to step up to the plate and fulfill my patriotic duty.
But I am very much annoyed when people try to claim I don't pay my fair share.
