    all you trying to nail down what’s enough and what’s ok for someone based on a number. You have no idea how anyone got there. It’s ducking sickening. 
    Don’t care how you got there. 
    I know. It’s weird what people care about. You just want to do whatever you want and take what you need from others to make up for your inabilities.
    No one needs 150k a year. Don’t be so selfish. 

    Tell you what, why not let me unburden you of some of that Professor's salary of yours?  Ahh, just kidding.

    If you had said, "Who needs several billions of dollars", I think you would have gotten more positive responses.

    Tell you what though,    I would love to have $150K a year.  Or more!  I want to win the lottery so I can buy Sea Shepherd Conservation Society another ship or totally fund one of their campaigns.  And support Wildlands Network by funding some wildlife crossing structures over freeways.  And send Andrew Yang's campaign thousands of dollars rather than just a few hundred.  And find and purchase that Telecaster of my dreams and a cherry vintage Fender Deluxe (or Princeton) Reverb amp.  Do I want lots of money?  Heck yeah!  Is that selfish, hell no.

    Well I'm pretty sure that's not your call. What's the right number? In other words at what dollar amount do you currently fully send back to the government as voluntary tax?
    You misapprehend my sense of right and wrong. 
    So it's only in theory,  not practice?
    I see you definitely misapprehend the practice. 
    I live by my principles.  What am I misunderstanding about yours?

    Selfish. That’s nice. I forgot though you are the communist that just wants other to pay for your everything. So it’s not a surprise. 

    Bet you bitch about Pearl Jam ticket prices too don’t you?
    Me and others—that’s how it works.

    Fair warning: This isn’t going to work. 

    But, probably Wrigley-1, 2018

    In a world where you could stop kids in the world from dying with that money. Yes, it is selfish.

    So how much $ are you contributing to society at the moment?  How much in taxes?  Donations? No bullshit.

    I was there and wanted to enjoy it but couldn;t get over the amount of $ being used on a music concert...and going towards beer...such a waste.  The number of kids that dies because of the wasteful use of that $ is shameful.

    Less than I should (definitely on the tax side of things). If you think "you're not perfect" is a winning comeback to "things should be different," this conversation isn't going to go anywhere.

    If someone wants to live under a communist state, there are opportunities out there.  If you are waiting around for the US to fulfill your communist dreams, you are either ignorant or insincere about your commy desire, otherwise you would have moved to a communist state already...
    and fuck Communism

    People being trigged by someone mentioning the word "communism"

    That 1950s McCarthyism to 1980s action movie indoctrination never fully goes away, does it.

    No I just think a bullshit statement saying how much anyone should make is just that, bullshit.  And usually made by those that do a lot less.
