So there is levels to greediness? You can call for higher taxes to have your conscience clear so you can be greedy elsewhere?

Everyone is greedy. Nobody wants less income if it affects their quality of life.

    True, but there’s no reason that can’t coexist with a sense of fairness, and witha long term greater good

    Of course I don’t want to pay more taxes. However I realize I’ve been more successful than some, and a more progressive tax scheme is fair. I realize I have vices and don’t mind if there is a discouragement, as long as it applies to everyone fairly. I realize my success is based on a successful society and understand it is only fair to leave society in at least as good condition as I found it. Most importantly I have kids so I’m all for building a better future for them …. And understand that includes the society they will live in, the environment they will live in
