Look it up!
You can suggest it all you want, but that's not the system we currently have. Our system that is in place is supposed to be progressive, but clearly that isn't working in all cases. We need to fix some things to get it more progressive more often.
It's the word "progressive" that scares them.
No fear here. Heck progressive taxes are good for me I don't even make $50,000/year....still I don't support the concept.
I'm a big fan of things being fair and equitable so I'd rather pay the same rate, as a percentage of my income, that a millionare pays. I would also like to pay the same rate, as a percentage of my income, as someone who makes 50% less than I do pays.
I just like things being fair is all.
I don't see what's unfair about a progressive system. All people making $1M pay the same percentage and all people making $100K pay the same percentage. Seems fair and predictable.
