One thing I have learned in my 23 years is that the more you earn, make, etc. the more is expected of you. Basically, you have more responsibility to others and to yourself. With this said and taxation being discussed (not grades, necessarily), if you make $200,000+, then you have worked hard to gain a certain place in life and you expect to be respected for your attainment, right? I would guess yes. Why can't someone expect something of you? People expect those of us who have college degrees to not act like dumb idiots. The minute you gain a respected position in life or $200,000+ does not mean social and personal responsibility flies out the window.

The more you gain, the more responsibility is given.
