Mikado,
One more quick question....to get where you are did you use ANY government assisstance at all (college loans, grants, a public college funded with gov't monies, a private college funded with gov't monies, gov't loans and grants to start your own business, public education K-12, etc.)?
If so then don't you think you owe a payback to the system that allowed you to get there so that someone else may get there?
My dad (who again I'll state is in that 1% and came from one a very poor family) thankfully pays his taxes and believes that it is a payback to help others advance like he did. He instilled into me a sense of community pride and to believe that if the system helps you achieve your dreams you repay that system or that system will die and all you have will be meaningless.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
