I lose 1/4 of every check to taxes and benefits and still owe at tax time generally, so my total tax layout every year has to be between $10 and $15k
That's very little. I had been paying in the mid 6 figures for decades before I got fed up with the tax slavery BS, shuttered my business (professional services, so not all that much to write off), laid off my employees, and retired early.
I'm not funding the repugnant and immoral confiscation and redistribution scheme anymore.
Only in the USA is it spun that helping the poor is immoral land licking the boots of the rich is good. Our society is so backwards.
No one is licking anyone's boots. Personal responsibility = personal reward. Lack of personal responsibility = personal hardship and struggle. It's not rocket science.
If I (as one person) only had to pay $10-$15K/year instead of mid 6 figures, I'd be fine with that. Make it so. That's approximately the per capita cost of Fed Gov.

^This, not everyone can be a computer programmer or investment banker just by simple logic, so the ones who don't work in those professions shouldn't get left with squat...

You fail to realize that the division of labor is stratified and that not everyone can work the high value jobs, because even if they were all qualified, then the value of those jobs would diminish due to oversupply of labor AND the low value jobs would go unfilled.....

Just like not everyone can have the same lifestyle. Why don't YOU and other pie in the sky money grubbing lefties realize that?
And if what you suggest happened, that would then increase the value of the currently low value jobs, which would still need to be done, so those workers would earn more.

No one is arguing for the same lifestyle just a better one. Thats what you don't get universal healthcare uplifts everyone it doesn't give everyone the same lifestyle. No one is arguing to get rid of capitalism.
