PAY MORE THAN EQUAL SHARE OF TAX BURDEN BASED ON INCOME DISTRIBUTION

THAT MEANS YOU'RE NOT PAYING TAXES

that really depenRAB upon your definition of fair, karen. i prefer the definition used by the dictionary: "free from bias, dishonesty, or injustice"

i would argue that when you have a system where you create a bias against higher income earners where-in they have to give up a higher percentage of their income simply because they make more money, you are creating an inherently unfair system.

now, whether that unfair system is RIGHT or not is a completely different discussion.

You've been rarabling for 2 pages, and you're only JUST now getting it.

Taxes that are progressive on income brackets are far more likely to reserable economic fairness than any of this type of simple-minded bullshit you're been yammering about:

This is hardly new. Wise economists knew the relative fairness of "progressive" taxation over 200 years ago; like the socialist scurabag said:"It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion."

Well, if you assume that the majority of people are low to middle income, and pay 35 to 40% someway or another in taxes, while the elite class pays less than 10% by hiding their wealth in overseas tax havens, yet make most of their money benefitting from the government, while the majority poor who pay half their income instead get raped by the government.

If you consider that hardly anyone will have sympathy for the moneyed corporatocratic elite
