Tithe, or tax, literally means a tenth of one's income. That concept has been around long before Marx was ever born.

Indeed that is true but what you fail to recognize is that it took Karl Marx and Frederick Engles, specifically mentioning a "heavy progressive income tax", to apply it to the business of taking over developed countries.

So, its not the income tax you object to, its that as currently constructed, it progressive.

Of course, the FairTaxers claim their tax is even more progressive, leaving the poor with more to spend then they have now.

Why do you object to the flat tax?
