Sharing. It is not something that comes easily to all of us
humans!
Definition of SHARE:
": to let someone else have or use a part of (something that
belongs to you)"

Depending on where we live on the planet, what we believe (in terms
of ethics, politics, religion, etc.) and what are resources we
have, we approach the concept of sharing differently. Specifically,
we perceive voluntary sharing (a.k.a. charity) and mandatory
sharing (a.k.a. taxation) differently.
In the USA, federal income taxes are dependent on resources (how
much and what type of classification). Thus, several decades ago
when I earned minimum wage at my employment (and had no other
assets or income), I did not pay any federal income taxes (due to
earning so little income). I now pay federal income taxes and LOVE
it! Very simply, I love having more resources and one of the
consequences of having more resources is that I share more of them
(voluntary and mandatory). I am grateful to have the
opportunity to have the resources and choices that I currently
have!
