"Equal" is such a relative term.
Is 0% taxation on a dollar earned equal to 35% taxation on a dollar earned??
No...
What you advocate is SUBJECTIVE equal treatment... so that you can scream for equal treatment when it benefits you, and justify unequal treatment when it justifies you.... you also love the SUBJECTIVE concept of fairness, because with that sliding scale, you can argue for anything that benefits you at the expense of others as well
Hahahah.
The progressive system is fair/equal in that its the dollars that are taxed, not the person. We both are taxed the same rate on our 10,000th earned and are both taxed the same on our millionth dollar earned. The rates between the two amounts vary, but it doesn't matter who you are, the tax rate on the actual dollar never changes. Seems fair.
I know you aren't going to see it that way.
Yes, that is exactly how I see it as well... And exactly how it is.
