Money is one thing I trust to god. It comes, it goes, and seems to attach itself to some more than others but is always in flux. Rich one day, poor the next in spite of your watchfulness. I tip big. I give generously to charities, I give to beggars, and I watch my life savings fluctuate wildly day to day due to market instabilities, but knowing it can disappear in days if my health fails. I'm satisfied with evening the game out a little and sharing what I have 'for the good of the many'.

I'm not saying I'm happy with how all of my taxes are spent and I'm also aware that you will have a field day with this post. Just sayin' that's how I deal with my middle class tax bracket. Although I often complain that I don't have 'enough', I really don't think being rich has a damn thing to do with money.
