Do we morally owe #taxes?

The case against paying taxes is stronger than you might think, but the best reason to pay may be humility: it’s the surest way to treat fellow citizens fairly.

Sooo, what you're saying is.. since 1% of everyone has more money than everyone else *combined*, we should #TAXTHERICH?

Then yes, I agree, that'd be lovely..

Trying to instill a sense of moral obligation in ME to pay? Not so helpful, the rich have all the money, tax them.
