Except then they'd be even more immoral than they are.
You're preacing Marxism. Graduated income taxes.
In actuality, the POOR should pay more taxes, since they use more government services. If we tax them enough, maybe they'd stop it!!!
Or we could go with a head tax. I pay $500. You pay $500. Bill Gates pays $500.
That'd be fair.
I hate paying so much in taxes, but what bugs me more is that the debate between the rich and poor is preventing us from getting on to the road of reform in taxation. The reason that we cannot get on the road to tax reform is because poor people who do not even pay taxes are blocking the entrance ramp.
