[quote=carlsbadworker][quote=NeetaT]I think we send the wrong message by imposing higher tax rates based on the more money you make. The message says: “You’re not supposed to make that much money” “You’re not supposed to live that good” “You’re not supposed to drive that luxury car, thus luxury tax imposed”. I know that 95% of you will not agree with me, but I just had to throw it out there.[/quote]
I always think progressive tax is a form of bribe from the rich to the poor so that they don’t riot in the street. The rich always has more to lose so they pay more to maintain the status quo.[/quote]

This is why I’ve always said that welfare is for the rich. They benefit far more than the poor schmuck who’s trying to feed a family on $300 a month (or whatever the number is) in an environment where costs are rising rapidly, but wages are not.
