Yes, but you were the one who said that you thought the rich should pay
their fair share. When challenged on just what that share was, you've
gone to water.

Not at all. I said that it should be somewhere between 10 and 50 percent.
How is that "going to water"?

Let's simplify this. I'll state that the rich *are* paying their fair
share now. Now you'll be happy, because you've been told that what you
want is in fact true.

I don't think the rich currently pay their fair share. I base this somewhat
upon experience (not mine, but close) and upon items I've read.

I don't know what you're trying to tell us in the Now you'll be happy
sentence. Sorry.

If you doubt my word, how much should the rich pay in tax? I think
that's where Dave & Max got to, and you couldn't or wouldn't answer.
Hence my statement that you aren't interested in putting a figure on
it, rather nurse your prejudices. No worries....

See first response.

Come on Jon. Why should *Dave* put up a figure when *you* made the
original assertion? If he does that, it leaves you free to carp forever
that what he proposes isn't fair, without ever having to commit
yourself as to what you think is fair. How about you put up a figure
and defend it? Too hard for you?

I put up a figure as stated. Why is he unable to do so?


As for my prejudices WRT tax - you're projecting your hidden biases
again. You can't possibly know.


Neither can you about me. So, what's your point?
