Yes, because you owe something to society for rewarding slavish workoholic freaks instead of people with talent (unless it is in athletics). A "self-made man" is someone who hates himself by sacrificing his personal life to get ahead. He also hates his father for not becoming rich and spoiling him. Despite your pretended class resentment at trust-fund babies, you too will make sure that your own children will never have to go through what you had to. You preach to the rest of us to make it on our own, but will never tell that to your own children.does it sound fair that a guy who paid for 4 years of college and 4 years of medical school should be taxed at a higher rate than some guy who graduated HS and went to work at mickey Ds, simply because he makes more?
that's the part you bleeding hearts alway ignore. for the most part (trustfund babies excluded) most of the rich people are rich because they worked harder or smarter to get there.
I was born into a poor family. I worked hard and got good grades in HS and got academic scholarships to help pay for college. I worked a full time job and worked my class schedule around my job. Is it fair for me to pay to support some guy who had the same opportunities as I and chose not to take advantage of them
