The french rich ask for a tax on...themselves
#18
RE: The french rich ask for a tax on...themselves
I believe the thinking is that everyone pays the same proportion of their income.

Sounds reasonable until you look at the reality.
this means that someone who might not have enough to feed their family pays the same proportion in taxes as a man who can wipe his arse with 100 dollar bills.

People who have dispropotionaly more should contribute disproportionally more.

Trickle down economics is a myth.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
