What I just described is the reason we have progressive taxation. It's not a "should be." It's and is and was and it's based on solid economics and history, and it's something America believed for decades and the Republicans are now taking it apart. It's obvious where this is going. It's going back to monarchy. We're going backwards, and it's going to have awful social and policy ramifications and we know it because we saw it happen once before (or, we saw it happen many many times in failed societies which concentred privilege and power in the hands of a few and allowed that power to be inherited).
