IIRC Radar is okay with other forms of taxes, such as fuel taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, etc. It is only when the tax rate is directly tied to income that he objects.

You are right on all counts other than property tax. I don't think I should ever be taxed on what I own, or what I earn. Owning property is a right. Keeping the fruits of your labor is a right. I have a problem being taxed for exercising my rights. I have no problem with paying taxes or fees for services I use.
