Have you proof of the fact that this is all the "liberal politicians" doing?
And do you have proof that the progressive tax does this:
1. Stifle groth
2. unfairly penalizing achievement
3. creating a disaffected lower class with no immediate incentive to work harder?
Because if 1 and 2 were true, the gap would in fact not be getting larger.
And I'm interested to see some proof in number 3...
Don't you think it's just a tad bit closer to the truth that the only way the government can sustain itself at this time IS the progressive tax system, and that currently, if it's not progressive, there will not be enough revenue to support the government?
