You abuse society only looking for what it can do for you (and your blood tribe as you termed it), not what you can do for it.
I'll tell you what Gstan.
My "blood tribe" (AKA "household") is already paying a lower middle class family net income in taxes for society.
When yours is paying as much (or more) I'll give your thoughts on the matter some consideration.
You'll have to pardon me if I have a hard time paying more than what about half country nets and being told,"You should be giving more, you don't deserve any of that money you and your wife earned by working your way through college and then slaving away to get ahead.".
In my humble opinion, they should make the sacrifices and spend the money we have and help themselves rather than looking to people like us to pay more. I don't mind paying a lot for very young, very old, and disabled people. I do mind paying for people who "just don't feel like working at a normal job" and don't really care if they believe I should fund their choice to be a "internet tech site", "ebay entrepreneur", or "social media consultant".
If you want me to take you seriously on this, you/your wife need to pay as much in as we do and still be saying, "We should be doing more!". You don't see me saying, "Hey you guys paying $100K in taxes, you should be helping the poor some more, they don't have as much as you!". I know they already pay a lot, and most of the taxes gathered.
In this country, those of us in the top 20% are already paying 84% of the tax.
