How long before some government employee tells me that I have to pay a higher percentage than those that earn less than me or they'll come after me with a gun?
How long before they drain my bank account because they think I haven't paid enough?
How long before I have to sit in jail because some government employee thought that my production would better serve someone I don't know?
How long before some government worker decides that the money I have somehow been able to keep away from them will serve someone else (not of my choosing) after I die?
why not tax everybody at the same rate - AND count all income the same (cap gains, dividends, etc.)
