32. How about "taking responsibility"...?

We also have to make sure people understand the concept of what is "FAIR" in tax fairness....

The vast majority of discretionary dollars go to the military.

The military protects wealth and freedoms. (freedom = power)

As it is, "income" is taxed, but it doesn't paint the whole picture. They talk about taxing INCOME fairly, but current income isn't the issue, ACCUMULATED income is the issue.

Those with the wealth and freedoms should pay their share for protecting it.

It's no different for people with larger houses paying more for homeowners insurance.
