You see the lists from time to time: America’s richest individuals or families.
You also see how proud people are about finding loopholes to cut their own taxes or lobbying for another advantage over the rest of the public.
Seems we’ve had it wrong. We should be according that respect to America’s top taxpayers. Yes, let them compete for the status of being the most generous Americans, the ones who step forward for their country. We could even break this out by occupation, for extra Top Ten lists. I’d even be in favor of having a monument in Washington inscribed with their names.
Let the rest of them be considered shirkers.

I’m guessing the monument wouldn’t need to be very large to accommodate the list. Competing for being the most socially indifferent and selfish seems to be the coveted prize at the moment.
You are so on target!
