Warren Buffet agrees that the filthy rich are under taxed. Still not sure why conservatives don’t think so.
Maybe because they are not under taxed. I hardly consider a married couple making $250,000 a year the “filthy rich”.
If Warren Buffet thinks he’s under taxed he can certainly cough up more of his own money for taxes.
Taxing wealth as a means of redistributing wealth has never been American. Taxing income as a means of redistributing income has never been American.
Government involvement in redistributing to supposedly attain a Utopia and or attain an equality of outcomes lends itself to among other things favoritism of special interests while pursuing its social engineering path.
Taxes premised upon anything not legitimately tasked the limited government should be voluntary OTHERWISE government is no longer limited -much is the problem with a government that can borrow without constraint with taxes but a necessary afterthought required to pay for the illegitimate.
