Out of curiosity, what was your net tax bill last year? Taxes paid minus direct benefits received. Did you pay your fair share? Is your number even positive, or did you receive more in benefits than you paid in taxes? Just to be fair, I'll go first and share that I'm paying a good $15-20k per year now and starting to think maybe that's a little more than my fair share.

Orrurar, don't you know? The fair share = a TON of money for everyone else. And as little as possible for the individual.
I agree with you. People who complain about the fair share are typically people who pay nothing in taxes. I paid about $1,100 last year and was outraged. I also receive royalty payments for my work and in a single royalty payment, I paid more than TEN TIMES that in taxes (that's on top of the tax for my regular salary). I can only imagine how it feels to pay hundreds of thousands and dollars every year.
