Rewriting history again, UG?
Progressive income taxes, included the so-called inflation tax, are as old and as non-partisan as the income tax itself in the US. Every president since the inception of the income tax has supported a system of progressive taxation. And, in fact, support for progressive taxation goes back to the "father of capitalism" and the libertarians' favorite iconic "laissez fair - free market" economist - Adam Smith. Quote:
SO my suggestion, tell it to Adam Smith, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Reagan...all proponents of that "class warfare". OR circle the wagons at the Tea Parties and keep shouting out together: "...on the tree of liberty must spill the blood of patriots and tyrants. ... "It makes for great wing nut theater!

Hahahahhaah...how dare you cast aspersions at the Founding Fathers. They had to be right about everything. I mean, they were Fathers, and were Founding.

[sarc]Ok, here is a better plan. Let's do like the Romans and have proscriptions against a couple thousand really rich people, like Bill Gates rich including Bill Gates, the Kennedy family, Bush family, the Clinton's and all the really fat cats and then just have the state take their money to pay for all these fun things! That's the ticket![/sarc]

I recommend Founding Mothers:The Women Who Raised Our Nation
Nothing about taxes, but a good read! And far more interesting than Ron "Dr NO" Paul and his relentless insistence that only he know what the framers were thinking. |
