Along with my Federal, State and Local taxes, Sales taxes, gas taxes, restaurant taxes and stuff like that I also contribute 10% of my income to my Church and the local Rescue Mission.

Good for you, seriously. However I’m still waiting for you to address the point I made in my #954 that with prosperity comes a greater interest in the maintenance of an orderly society.

“The 400 of us [here] pay a lower part of our income in taxes than our receptionists do, or our cleaning ladies, for that matter. If you’re in the luckiest 1 per cent of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99 per cent.”
