“The man of great wealth owes a peculiar obligation to the State,
because he derives special advantages from the mere existence of
government” - Teddy Roosevelt

In other words: With great compensation comes commensurate obligation.

I don’t disagree with that at all.
Where we may disagree, is where that line of obligation becomes counterproductive.

I also disagree with the idea that when a person earns a living, a portion of the income automatically belongs to the state.

I’m more of the “what I earn is mine, until the tax bill becomes due, at which point I pay everything I owe” mind-set.
