    That is the core issue. The very first reply in post #2 understood the question quite clearly and answered it. Why you still did not get the gist after that reply is, well, no, not puzzling, I guess it should be expected.

    I left it general at the end to allow a healthy discussion regarding taxes as I wish to learn more about taxes.



    I don't think they are evil. And yes, they are necessary. Certain functions of a government necessarily require funding that inherently should be taxed from its citizens. But to tax one class of citizens unfairly, no matter how wealthy, is still, unfair.








    So taxes are solely about economics?



    I may be mistaken, but did not Reagan's tax system create a vibrant economy? One vastly superior to Commie Carter.





    How is it "equitable?" Because you are not the one being taxed at an inherently unjust rate? Treating a class of people different than another class of people generally violates the equal protection clause. Even though the economic class has the lowest standard for the "gummit" to overcome, it does not, however, change the fact that the rich are being treated unequal.






    Do you like repeating yourself? You spend all that time making a post to close with this, what a waste of time. You just have to dig don't you? You think because YOU don't understand the issues that this somehow makes my post less. Nice try.

    Just ask the second poster.
    My stance is clear.

    Not just an op ed columnist MP, a Princeton economist and a close freind and peer to Ben Bernake the current Fed Chairman.

    He knows as much about economics as anybody alive.

    Read it again as if it was God's word.
