Reply #100: There are several behaviors that are punished . . . [View All]

savings, independence, investment. Taxes are not inherently redistributive, redistributing tax revenue is intently redistributive. Taxes are inherently collective in nature. I have a problem with the progressive income tax because it punishes the wrong behavior and rewards the wrong behavior. There is one thing to say about government, it feeds upon the people and if left unchecked will try to accumulate as much power as possible. Money is power, taxes are a collection of power.
