Progressive taxation creates severe moral hazard.
Yes, progressive taxes totally prevent Bill Gates from wanting to succeed
Would you then support a value-added tax, like they have in Europe, which is a sales tax on everything?
I support a true sales tax, not a purchaser's tax. If it is a tax on sales, it should be payed by the seller. Then, too, would it take on a progressive nature. As is, the buying tax is a regressive tax that disproportionately effects those with the least income.
Also, would you agree that sales tax (paid by buyer) and excise tax (paid by seller) are identical, hurting the buyer and seller identically?
No. How does WalMart eating the tax a local city passes harm Wal-Mart or its employees the way the sales tax hurts those below the poverty level and already dependent on welfare or nearly at that point?A proficient chess player knows when stalemate is inevitable.
It's not a stalemate. It's you throwing a tantrum and overturning the board.
I'm not sure philosophy has anything to do with your response, given your refusal to honestly defend you position.
Failed OUT of the gate...
