Comment on Calif. fast-food chains slash workers as $20-an-hour minimum wage looms
ButWaitTheresMore@sh.itjust.works 3 months agoThat’s a demented definition of “fair share.” The rich make thousands of times more money than the average American but they only account for 2x more than us? Go back to elementary school.

They pay double their income, which is over their fair share. At the same time, the bottom 50% pay less than their fair share.
It doesn’t matter that they make more; they pay more in taxes and receive less for their taxes.
You must have a strange version of fair share if you think paying double isn’t fair.

Keep drinking the Kool aid, man. There’s no saving you.

How about staying on topic? Why should I pay significantly more in taxes but receive less from those taxes? The bottom 50% should pick up the slack and pay their way.
I pay my fair share.

This is a bad faith argument I’m ending here. Claiming that people that are dodging their less-than-fair-share percentages are paying more than they ought to is asinine. It’s not pro-america, it’s not pro-conservative, it’s not anti-liberal, it’s bootlicking.
