I don't mind if you support progressive taxation for your own personal reasons, but please do not pretend it is in any way "equal" or "fair".
I'd also ask how you think shipping jobs overseas isn't creating jobs. Of course it is creating them...just because they aren't in your particular country doesn't mean they aren't being created. There are people in Bangladesh that are very thankful for the jobs they have.
I don't support it because it's fair, I support it because the rich have more $$ to take, so let them take that $$, not the $$ of the people who can't even afford to feed their families. I support an environment where everyone can have a good life. Maybe your rich and that's why you don't give a fuck. I don't know but whatever, your opinion.
