If taxes were fair: You earn $100,000 per year and pay $30,000 in tax. Your neighbor earns $1,000,000 and pays $300,000 in tax. Your neighbor is paying 10X more than you. If taxes were fair, you should both pay $30,000, since you both receive the same government services.

@davidpattersonx $30,000 is far more impactful to someone making 100k vs someone making 10x that amount. Progressive tax is correct, but should be low. The poorest pay 0% The Richest pay 22% Never exceed 1/4 of someones income.

@TimeKillers @davidpattersonx What makes arbitrary 1/4? What about value changing hands? Who judges what is a wholesale vs. profit expense?
