Just "pay your fair share." Why is that such a hard concept for you to understand?

No worries, your politicians will blame the federal gov't in hopes that you'll follow their lead and ignore it's they who are taxing the chit out of you.
Well, no. Places like NYC and SF are expensive because that's where all the jobs are.

I remember when a friend of mine used to get drunk and just repeat the same thing over and over until people would just sigh and roll their eyes. Its getting to that point with Informedconsent aka "fair share warrior".

Saying "all the jobs" is saying that they are the only place where you can work and you're obviously wrong. Your gov't is robbing you blind and you're defending it.

Less than 30% itemize folks. This change will not impact 70% of all tax filers.
So you can all put your "outrage" away.

I am telling you, because you are the only one here who keeps parroting it. You are the CD "fair share warrior". If Hillary etc said it, then you are in the same camp.

I've said it FAR less than Bernie, Hillary, Pelosi, Schumer, etc. have


Pay your fair share. What's your objection to doing so?

Tell your story to the hedge fund managers and real estate partnerships, throw in the tax breaks for sports arenas.

Are they paying according to tax law? Yes. They're paying their fair share.
