    Really interesting to see how vocal people are about this topic before they even know how this particular tax and distribution program works.

      People are upset that the rich are paying a lower percentage of their wealth than the poor. Nobody here thinks the rich are only supposed to pay for their own Social Security, or are making any legal argument about how tax law currently works.

      Eh.

      To be completely honest, I don’t give a flying fuck about understanding so I can be fair to rich people. I don’t want to be fair to rich people. They are leeches. They use their wealth to buy legislation to make our lives worse. I hope we aren’t fair to rich people going forward. They’ll still be rich even if we aren’t.
