TJ, If there was any chance of that, I might go along with you. But, folks with money are able to use many of governments "services" that many of the poorer folks only dream about. Ranging from interstate highways, railways, stadia of all sorts, museums, orchestras, race tracks, airports, parks, recreation, and other and assorted "things" that the wealthy even ask the government to provide. Actually, we are both dreamers. Peace and love, George.
We were giving opinions of what the correct way to tax people is. Now your argument is that my idea has no chance, which is quite apart from the point. You didn't like the idea, in fact you termed it "one of the worst", but now you dismiss it as unworkable without addressing the question of why you opined that is "one of the worst". That is an evasion.

Now you are back to the envy/fairness issue. Very liberal George.
All of the "services" you described are outside the proper role of government, which is why I specifcally refered the rightful role of government, namely the defense of individual rights.
Actually, we are both dreamers.
That may indeed be true. We certainly have different dreams. I dream of being free and living in the constitutional America of the founder's dreams. I'm not entirely clear on what your dreams are other than your recurring theme that some people "owe" more for living in that constitutional republic than others.
