I am a capitalist through and through, but people who have been richly blessed shouldn't have a problem paying taxes.

"you didn't build that business".........

You're right I didn't. But a lot of folks at the top seem to have a similar entitlement mentality to those at the bottom. Both ends of the spectrum seem to think those of us in the middle should pay their way.
And yes, I am sure that Papa John worked hard. I KNOW he did. But to be whining about paying taxes when you live in a mansion just reeks of the same, spoiled entitlement mentality that is killing this country.

I am not doubting this man's hard work. But let's face it, a lot of people work hard at small businesses and get nowhere. This man is also blessed/lucky (take your pick). No one ever succeeds at that level without it. I don't wish him ruin. I'm not some deluded socialist, just a working guy who is particularly irritated/amused when I listen to millionaires/billionaires complain.

I want him to pay fair share and stop whining like some spoiled little b*tch. It is unbecoming for a man in his circumstance. Sorry if I am bereft of compassion for his now dire circumstances.
