July 22, 2008 at 9:35 AM in reply to: Off Topic: “Their Fair Share” Taxes paid by the “Rich” #244441Participant[quote=davelj][quote=jficquette]Allan, I was referring to our system of Government as outlined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights standing for fair and equal treatment. I was not suggesting that the tax code was intended to be fair. I wasn’t clear about that.

First of all, I’m not Allan. Second, democracy isn’t about “fair and equal treatment.” (How can a system of “majority rules” possibly lead to “fair and equal treatment”?) It’s about redistribution. Until you accept that fact, you’re going to be one unhappy fellow.
[/quote]Our system of goverment was designed and built on due process and equal treatment. Our tax code doesn’t follow that theme.
My point is that making people pay more in tax then their share violates equal and fair treatment.
If its ok to tax people beyond their equal share what does that morph into 25 years from now?
