you said you paid 30% gross in taxes and mentioned those specific taxes. you then wished the wealthy would pay the same amount of their gross. this implies that the wealthy do not pay those specific taxes.
even in your "rebuttal' you bring up forced costs that you and grandma pay...again implying that the wealthy do not also pay those costs. :lamo
how about giving some examples of taxes you pay that the wealthy do not also pay instead?
I pay 30% of my gross income to taxes (maybe more). I suggest the wealthy should pay 30% of their gross income to taxes. I just want them to pay the same percentage as me, nothing more. That would be an equally shared burden and routinely patriotic.
