It's the "fellows" who pay ZERO percent federal income tax (plus a few other idiots) who are enslaving the rest of us by voting for big government spending AND a "progressive" federal income tax. You wouldn't know anything about the propensity of such fellows, would you?
Any tax, whether it be an income tax or any other tax that one would suggest to fund the bare bones Constitutional functions of a federal government should not be progressive.
To point that out is appropriate. To imply that one is an inappropriate "class warfare" type when one points that out is utter nonsense.
As far as PROGRESSIVE INCOME TAXES if I tell you to get rid of income taxes, do you imagine I think anything good about the progressivity of the rates?
Don't leap on the flea when the tiger is ready to bite off your head anyway.
Time to abolish the federal personal income tax.
