We live in a market economy where supply and demand determine compensation. The idea that its unfair to tax a billionaire liberal actor or singer or a CEO at a progressively higher rate is wrongheaded.Life is not fair.Life is not fair, why should taxes be?All the name calling in this thread really years away from useful debate. Can't a fair share be FAIR. Let everyone throw in 12% if there MUST be taxes. If not twelve then some other number that can be agreed upon. Everyone throws in the same. Why is that unfair?
People who study such things have the data that shows that the US is extreme in the world in wealth inequality. Statisticians show substantial correlation between wealth inequality and the social ills we read about every single day in the papers.
Why on earth would we take steps to make all of those problems worse????
Some have more wealth than others.
Because life is not fair.
