You went to school, opened up a business worked very hard and made a decent amout of money.
I dropped out of the same school, sat home or whatever, collected welfare, or maybe just went and got a decent job working in a factory.
Please explain why it's fair that we pay a different amount to the government? We both were born here, we both went to the same school....
