overall I agree... I don't mind if property taxes or other taxes or tariffs (I am not sure how tariffs could be progressive) were a little bit progressive but within that tax structure we have no reason to tax peoples income. Unless like buffet we tax the people who request higher taxes. Taking peoples income is a theft designed to prevent competition for assets and politicians. We certainly have other ways we can fund the govt.
I actually favor a fair, progressive tax structure. I think ALL income groups should pay taxes. We need to get away from the "crime & punishment" mind set that those that make more are somehow guilty or that those at the lower income levels get a free ride.
