Be careful. The populist caucus on FR hate “the rich” even more than the Dems.

Has the current ‘progressive’ tax system ever been challenged in court as being a violation of ‘equal protection under the law’?

"Tax the Rich" is a misnomer. There is no tax on wealth in this country. A person with a net worth of $100 million who earns $100,000 in a given year pays the exact same amount of taxes as someone with a net worth of $-200,000 who earns $100,000 in that same year.

If liberals wish to tax the rich, then why don't they? They should practice what they preach and slap a wealth tax on the likes of John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, Hillary Clinton, Maria Cantwell, John Corzine, etc. Make them pay 10% of their net worth to the government every year.

I read this this morning.

It starts out with a fallacy that the goals of the tax code should be

“fairness and efficiency”.

Only a commie lefty would have “fairness” foremost in his mind concerning the tax code.

Taxes are to “fund the government”. “Fairness” is NOT an issue, unless, like I said, you have a communist mindset.
