Because I don't favor changing the distribution of the tax burden from what it is now to one which increases it for the middle class---the class to which, I, an individual belong? Connect the dots for me. Connect the dots for me.

Okay. The connected dots show your collectivist groupthink mentality is irrational. You seek to enlist government agents to initiate force against certain persons on your behalf. ...For government to force people with higher incomes than you to sacrifice a portion of their individual life-and-property rights so that you may reap the benefits.

Zon said twice to Deuce: "Taxation is necessary to gain revenue but honest principle, integrity, honoring and protecting individual life-and-property rights are primary unit. All those in bold are violated when taxes are imposed greater on one group than another. It sacrifices a portion of the individual for the supposed betterment of the group. It is collectivist groupthink. Like voting for the lesser of evils always begets evil -- how so many people thinking they're right can be so wrong. Politics, and especially reflected in politics of taxation, suck. Politics suck objectivity out and insert irrationality in. Individual life-and-property rights are primary and must be protected, honored and respected -- not sacrificed." 888, 905

Collectivist groupthink mentality is the rule of tribalism -- tyranny of a majority over the individual. It's a form of terrorism inflicted on the individual that if the individual doesn't bow to the tribe's irrationality, dishonesty and mysticism he or she will become the tribe's next victim. There in lies the underlying motive and cause of almost all politicians, bureaucrats, mainstream news media "personalities" and many academics: to undermine honesty.

Dishonesty, mysticism and irrationality are the problem/cancer that terrorize the little guy.
