How many of you understand the basics of our income tax system? What exactly it means when you move into a higher tax bracket? What the difference between a progressive tax and flat tax is, and why a progressive tax is generally held to make the most sense?
If I agreed with the system as most people who read this do (agree in so far as plan on at least paying taxes and being a part of it. Grumbling doesn't stop you from agreeing in action) then I would be happy with a heavily progressive tax system and would gladly pay a bit more if I was much more wealthy. If not, what the fuck? Are people that are arguing against Obama's plan dumb, or just fucking disingenuous assholes who want that tiny bit more money that McCain's plan would give them? And charging that a progressive tax system is socialist? What are you, fucking completely ignorant of the history of the income and capital gains taxes over the past few generations?
