People often confuse envy and greed, but while the LEFT exalts both, there is a difference. Greed is the excessive desire for acquisition;
envy is pain at another's good fortune. The greedy want something for themselves; the envious merely want others not to have it.
When Leftists clamor for "The Rich" to "Pay their fair share," they exhibit the latter sin of being envious of wanting others not to have it,
which they would make a virtue.
For example, in 2016, the top 3 percent of U.S. taxpayers paid the majority of all income taxes received by the government. The top 1
percent paid more than the bottom 90 percent combined. The top 50 Percent paid 97 percent of total individual income taxes. How
much do the lefty fair-sharers want "The Rich" to pay: 98 percent? 100 percent? No proportion could ever suffice, as the radical Leftists
desire less to acquire than to deprive.
