Everyone pays their share in taxes, which is a much more equitable burden since a 1% can far more easily afford to lose a million dollars than a bottom 10% can afford to lose $50.


I mean... you do realize that Europe has more regressive taxes then the US by like... a lot right.

The Rich pay more in taxes in Europe then the US.... but everyone else pays a WHOLE lot more then the US does.

The only way to actually pay for more "soclialist" programs like universal healthcare is to tax the hell out of the poor to the point of tax regressiveness.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
