Reply #70: Charity I do. But overpaying the government I won't yet.

I would if I could specify exactly what it went to and know for a fact that's what it was going for.

An increase in taxation would be coupled with a policy and program agenda that I support. What I should have said is I am willing to pay for social programs with more taxes. If congress were to pass a 100 billion dollar school renewal/funding program and pay for it by taxing, I would gladly pay for that.

Yeah - a maximum wage has so many complicated problems it would never seriously work. In the ideal world, people would have enough compassion and discipline to set a maxmium wage for their self and contribute the surplus that is really excessive to social programs.
