ATOMonkey makes a good point. We do have a progressive tax in this country and it is exactly that which needs to go away.
Although there is no political will to do it, repealling the 16th Amendment and instituting the Fair Tax will go a long way towards helping our economy recover.
I urge one and all to read the Fair Tax book. No, I don't get any royalties by saying that, I just think it's a fascinating look at the history of our Progressive tax and a feasible and potentially successful alternative.
If you stop giving people fish and instead teach them to fish, then they succeed (or fail) on the basis of their own motivation and skill. Understanding, of course, that there are some who need care since they cannot care for themselves...that should go without saying.
