We’re not supposed to be made up of “classes.” We’re supposed to be made up of citizens, all equal before the law. Any Marxist graduated income tax makes that impossible.

Agreed. But if Trump's plan is less progressive, then it would be a step in the right direction.

That’s always a losing game, and I think down deep everybody knows it. As long as you have a graduated income tax that divides the citizenry into classes and groups and targets some while favoring others, you’ve got statist socialist governance. And as long as politicians are buy-able, the big boys are always going to buy their way out of tax liability. It’s as sure as the sun coming up in the east.
