The US does not tax wealth -it taxes income.

The death tax does tax wealth. It hits small business and landowners, not the wealthy, and is thus ultimately regressive.

I would suggest that reducing taxes is always good.

Given your knowledge of our current tax structure, I'll give your opinion all the consideration it is due.

You seem to have an issue with the "wealthy" as you intentionally differentiate them from others -that is what drew me to your comments that premise a LEFTIST class warfare meme. You can not have class warfare without at first dividing up into classes.

REGRESSIVE -you no like? translates into PROGRESSIVE -you like?

Again there is no wealth tax -ONLY if one takes an inheritance as income is it taxed. AND as I stated -I would suggest that reducing taxes is always good.

Given your objections and your arguments it appears you think income taxes are good, they should be progressive; and the wealthy should pay more. You promote leftist redistribution probably without realizing you do -you sure as hell argue for it.

What part of equality under the rule law do you not get and why do you dislike the "wealthy"?
