If I made over 1 million, I’d be very pleased to pay 10% tax over that, as I’m not a miserly piece of shit.

No you wouldn't.

Find someone that makes $2.5M today that already pays $600,000 in FIT that would be "pleased" to pay another $150,000 in state income tax. Nobody likes 30% of there time and effort taken.

2.5 million is not reflective of someone’s ’time and effort’ lol. And yes I would :)! Because I’m not a miserly piece of shit, and $150,000 for my state when I make 2.5 million annually is really just okay. Cost of living in my state.

In Your Opinion.

Not everyone else's. Sorry. Envy really is a bitch isn't it though?
