Our current tax system applies equally to all Americans, regardless of where they live. Taxing at different rates due to different incomes is one thing. Taxing people with the same income at different rates based on where they live is quite different. The same rules should apply to all, regardless of where they live. You can spin it any way you want, but that’s the bottom line for me anyway.
It may not technically be a different rate, but I'd be extremely surprised if people were not taxed differently under Fedzilla based on where they live.
Even so, how in the world is that so awful compared to what we have now -- where NO one pays the same rate EVER on the same income?
You are making a huge line in the sand over a few people possibly (and it's not clear at all to me that any of these locales would be willing to be OZs) OPENLY and without variation getting a little lower rate compared to a system under which NO one ever pays the same effective rate on the same income, and which, no doubt, even also taxes people differently based on where they live (through loopholes for this and that and surcharges for this and that).
How can you justify being outraged over the former while you are actually justify the latter?
