We pay an "income tax".....top 5% pays 75% of the tax because they take 75% of available income
By what right is that 75% not their property, but the government's? Do I own anything, and if so, who decides when what I earn is no longer mine? What do you have that you don't really own that I can take from you?
And please. Once again. What is the purpose of government?
For simplicity's sake, let's assume it costs $5,000 in government services to enable you to make $50,000, Fitz. The numbers aren't that important; what matters is, conceding there are government-incurred costs involved in enabling you to earn income.
On these facts, is it so unfair to expect you to pay some or all of that $5,000 in tax?
