I actually used to somewhat look at it like Vlad made it sound, like he will miss another million…

To most of us that will probably never get to know what thats like think “Hey this guys making bank he can give a little more”

I talked with someone about this, someone who does make money, started his own buisnesses and worked his ass off and he said one thing to me that completely changed my outlook on it…

“What right do you or anyone else have to tell me, someone who worked hard for my money how much I can give or how much I can live without”

and I agree with that, before he said those words to me I though hey, if your making a high ammount per yet, you can probably afford a little more tax, and maybe thats true, some of these people who are making million per year probably could, but what right does any of us have to say how much is to much or how much they can give back, its none of our buisness
