use Progressive Taxation to raise more money, then make a NHS in the US, afterall healthcare is a basic human right

 

Progressive taxation: Punishing people for working hard - rewarding the poor

 

wrong, statistics show someone on the average wage works the same hours as someone in a multi-million dollar hedge fund

 

The number of hours one works is not the sole determiner of how "hard" someone works.  And yes, progressive taxation is a dis-incentive to working harder, how could it NOT be?
