Jack up the lowest rates and make the tax table regressive. The more you produce, the lower tax rate you get. If you sit on your butt all day and produce nothing there is a high minimum tax you'll have to pay just for the privilege of living here.

There, that's a pro-growth tax.

Why do I expect Obama to do the opposite and jack up the rates on the producers to give even more of the non-producers a free ride?

I agree with you. I’ve always objected to the whole notion that government should be paid for by the most productive people while the least productive are *excused* from paying. I went Galt because of it.

The authority to unequally distribute the tax burden should be stripped from all levels of government. Hand each person an equal portion of the government tab and government would shrink so fast your head would spin.
