Where Is Their Fair Share?

There are some very rich people spouting that they are going to make the rich pay "their fair share". Why have they not voluntarily done it then?

I say this not to blow my own horn but to make a point. When I was age 20 I decided that I would always keep what I needed to live comfortably and give the rest away. I have never been rich or even close to rich. But if some average guy like me can do it, why don't they? I suspect that they don't really mean it or they would already have done it themselves.

I think, because of the good type of person you are, you fail to understand that really, really rich people and predatory criminals are not too far apart in nature.

Really, really rich people will only give money away to charities if they have a tax loophole on the other end which will result in profitability at the end of the tax year.
