Paying your fair share means you pay the same percent as I do according to your income.


Agreed but she's proposing they pay a higher percentage.

There are way too many loopholes for the super-rich to avoid paying any tax.


I agree 100%. However, as I stated, we all look for every deduction we can to avoid taxes.

Most middle class workers pay around 30% of all their income in tax. Super rich pay zero to maybe 10%.


I'm not sure where the 10% came from but let's break it down. If I make $100,000 a year and pay 30%, I pay around $30,000 in income tax. If my colleague makes $2,000,000 a year and pays only 10%, he pays $200,000 a year. Who contributes more to society?

There are probably reasons for the disparity in the two wages. Profession, hours of work, education, responsibilities, etc.

So, while I agree in concept, the millionaire does more than I do.
