I wonder if she includes the 50% of people who pay little or no taxes.
You mean those “social parasites” who are still under 18 or over 65 or otherwise unable to work and help others earn a profit which can be taxed?
You mean those shiftless folks who pay only sales taxes on the goods they purchase from the money they make at their minimum-wage jobs?
The point is that even the most individual success story is a couunal effort (if I dare use a term that sounds like “communism”) here.
It is not about “redistribution of wealth”, it is just a matter of paying for services rendered: those who benefit the most should pay a greater share, especially those who benefit from a stable and functioning legal and physical infrastructure, those who benefit from having the US military there to protect access to their resources, as well as an education system.
