I don't expect such short-sightedness from you lune... progressive taxation and the redistribution in the form of here take this we will take care of you is exactly what keeps the richer getting richer and the poor get just enough to vote for who gives it to them...
Until we deal with the hidden taxes caused by our now fiat currency and central bank the wealth gap will continue to at least stay the same and this progressive theft and choosing who doesn't get to climb the economic ladder of their own volition and on their own merit also creates a sense of entitlement that does not meld with the tenets of liberty.
While all of this is going on there is massive Social-Engineering in every area imaginable, to what end are we really being lead?

Progressive tax doesn't choose who gets to climb the economic ladder and it doesn't discourage achievement. You've really got to get those two Reagan-era lies out of your head. They were designed to make you work against your own best interest and make you shuck and jive for the people who own you.
Nothing about progressive tax means you have to take it and then give it to Shaguamquisha as a lump sum payment. You invest it in schools, national parks, health care, infrastructure, and all the things that make it
easier for people to climb the economic ladder.
Trickle down economics will continue to funnel wealth into the hands of capitalists at the expense of everyone who has to sell their labor to survive (that includes you). There is no market force to end this
Republicans have a responsibility to quit swallowing corporate loads and answer to the middle class on this. Frankly, Democrats can't be trusted
not to just tax the shit out of everyone and funnel it to inner-city parasites. And that's assuming they win elections which they don't because of retardation.
We need Eisenhower Republicans back.
