10. If the desire is for a ‘level playing field,’ how to explain progressive income tax?
The progressive income tax applies equally to everyone. The taxable income you earn in each bracket is taxed the same as everyone else who earns money in that bracket.
".... progressive income tax applies equally...."
You have a facility with language....just not the English language.
Prove it doesn't. The progressive income tax divides earnings into brackets, and all earnings in each bracket are taxed the same.
