If somebody is making $400,000/year, they're contributing a little over $100,000 in income taxes. You don't think that's a fair share?

If you ask the 50% of the US public that makes $50,000 / year (median US individual income) or less whether paying twice they make in income taxes, leaving six times what they make as after-tax income, is a fair share, what do you think they are going to say?

Your response and the sibling are exactly what I'm talking about: "Eat the rich but of course we don't mean us!" If you think the proletariat is not going to see right through that, think again.
