It is virtually impossible to understand these matters without a firm grounding in micro theory.

The problem with that is that 99%+ could not give 1 hoot in hell about micro, macro, or any other theory! What they know is that the income tax is HIGHLY intrusive into their private affairs and HIGHLY unfair to those who earn legitimate incomes. They also understand that, regardless of what any economic theory might suggest, that the money to pay taxes, and the costs of complying with them has to come from somewhere or they are out of business!

Ignorance can never help. Ignoring medical science can leave you dead. Ignoring science will destroy technology. Ignoring Economic Principles will also produce miscarriages.

I am ignorant of automobile mechanics but I don't rant and rail against those who have studied to learn how to fix cars. To do that regarding Economics is equally unwise.

The simple unavoidable fact is that taxes will ALWAYS be paid by those with incomes. And almost always those with higher incomes will pay higher taxes. This is true of EVERY tax system known to man.

The problem is that this system will result in unacceptable difficulties for the economy and for individuals and bring few of the alleged benefits touted by its advocates.
