Truly spoken like someone who gets his/her paycheck once every two weeks whether he needs it or not. Paid for overtime too I'd bet, lots of benefits etc. You should try going 2-6 months with no dough coming in while you wait for the business to catch on, while paying your employees and your mortgage and etc. Yes - let's talk fair, but let's talk about all parts of the equation, not just simple equal taxation by income because that omits a big part of the full picture.
