I don't want dollar for dollar match of "pain and sacrifice"

[Horse with no Name]

I want a % match.

If I have to give up something that will ultimately affect 35% of my lifetime assets...I want the Rockefellers to give up 35% of their lifetime assets.

If that isn't done...then it isn't even close to shared sacrifice.

4. I want a pain to benefit ratio first, then we can look at matching.

99% of the profit and agenda, 99% is on you from jump.

6. What, like a fair tax?

It's got to be more than the same percentage. It's got to be the same effect on everyone's life.

And if that's what you meant by shared sacrifice, you'd have two choices: either make sure that everyone has financial security, or take away ALL the rich's money and make them live paycheck to paycheck like the rest of us.

Hell, if you really want people to give the same sacrifice as a percentage of income, then the amount all the people losing their jobs are sacrificing is 100%.
