Reply #10: Taxes on people that are getting away with not paying their proportional fair [View All]

[bluestate10]

share have to be raised. BUT. Government programs that fail to meet their defined objectives have to be reformed or ended. There is only so much money for government. So called progressives on DU must realize those salient facts. While I have no respect for the rich that take any means to avoid paying a fair share of taxes while enjoying the fruits of liberty, I take as much offense with the progressive position that a person must be taxed until their eyeballs fall out because they are rich and that every program that serve the needed is well run and there is no graft or inefficiency anywhere to be found. There is something called an appropriate operating space that progressives have no sense of.
