I’m satisfied very wealthy people who owed taxes paid them. I pay all my taxes, I expect the same from the other top 40% of Americans who have a federal income tax liability. Why would I not be happy to hear this news? This is what I voted for. “Promises made, promises kept.”

Why, out of curiosity, do you care if others pay tax?
For the biblically inclined like yourself, start at Romans 13:6-7, Matthew 17:24-27, and Matthew 22:15-22. Matthew was a tax collector before being called to become one of Jesus' disciples.

My own secular belief system is in shared contribution to the cost and support of civilization. If I alone pay, that is insufficient. We must all pay what is due for the system to effectively function.
