This seems like a good spot to go meta - what exactly does someone who has achieved a level of financial success owe the rest of us?
The Christian church has a well-known - at least among churchgoers - figure, which is 10% or a tithe.
Ask someone who favors government and they will probably say something like &quot;as much as we need.&quot;
Ask someone who does not and they will probably say something like &quot;as little as possible.&quot;
It&#x27;s a long shot but it might help if we had some consensus of what constitutes an equitable &quot;contribution.&quot;
