Do you consider yourself more left or right wing?

The other version is they order a plate of cookies for $20.  The manager pays $19.50, the worker pays 0.50 and complains the manager isn't paying a fair share.  

*top 10% already pay 72% of taxes

Source, please? Even if true, it should still be higher. The top10% can easily afford it.

I don't know much about your country, however, wikipedia says the the Total effective federal tax rate (includes corporate income and excise taxes) for that top 10% has been between 21.6% and 29.4% in 2010. I don't know if these numbers grew a lot until now, I can't imagine they did. 

The top tax rate in Germany is 45%, by the way, and even that is way too low.

72% is of all taxes, not tax rate.  

I also think your post is exactly what is wrong with left think.  Love how you volunteer other people's money and decide for them.  Lol.  

How about your worry about your money and not mine?
