Wanted: a liberal to tell me what's fair

Yesterday, I finished the tax return for a young medical professional.

He made $400,000 last year.

Now I'm looking for a liberal to tell me "what's fair" when it comes to his tax liability. How much should this pariah pay in taxes?

Now before you answer this question, I want to preface this with the following caveats.

He has no investment income despite a $400,000 W-2. Why? Because he's starting to pay back the $380,000 in student loans he amassed going to med school.

Also keep in mind the eight years of schooling where he could have been in the private sector making money.

Also keep in mind the two years he worked as a resident at a local hospital working 80 hour work weeks for all of $40,000/year.

Also keep in mind the fact that he had to pull up his family and move to another state to take the position he's in; something many would never do.

So what is it Mr./Ms. Liberal? How much is fair for this leach on society? How much should this clown pay for beating down the poor little guy?

I once posed this question to a fat mouthed liberal relative of mine and his answer? "I don't know, I just know he doesn't pay enough". What's that number? What's enough? Well here's your shot to stick it too the man; this pariah of success. How much should this guy pay for raping society for his success?

If anyone has the answer for what fair is, please note it in the comments section.

That slug on society should be tapped for 90% and if we can't pay for all our pork barrel projects then we'll put a danged lien on his resource-sucking kids so they'll be our economic slaves.

Oh wait, we already did that.

Luv,

The Democrats

I have lots of relatives who are physicians. They work their tails off, spend hours away from their families, pay tons of unnecessary malpractice insurance, owe huge amounts in school loans, just like you say. They are regulated so much that there is no room to breathe.

Same with the "evil" drug manufacturing companies. Everybody cries about the price of drugs, and Obama is pushing generics. But who the HELL funds the research for years, the millions of $$$ it takes to take a compound from paper to actual, approved use for humans??? All this while the left cries about animal rights. The same left who cries and whines when there is no cure.
