Wouldn't it be fair for everyone to pay the same amount of taxes to the government? fuck the % of money you make, Everyone should pay the exact same dollar amount, Then we would truly all be treated fair and equal  |
No. We need a graduated income tax. You can't tax the first $30,000 at the same rate as income over $1,000,000
How do you live when the government takes 25% of your $30,000? When they take 25% of $1,000,000, one can still get by quite well. The first $40,000 is far more precious to you, and necessary
for life, than the last $40k any one of the Walton family (Walmart) takes in. That's why we need the graduated income tax.
