Just because Marx wrote it doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense.
Thinking society can be more equitable does not make one a communist.

Our tax code is based on "From each according to his ability." When it comes tax reductions, some seem to be saying "to each according to his need."
When you combine the two, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." you have a very familiar phrase. Now where have I heard that before? Oh yes, it is in the Communist Manifesto.

Willie - yes any tax reduction plan will obviously benefit the person who
earns more than one who earns less. The point is to try to make a plan
that at least attempts to help those who need it most, rather than one
that barely helps the worst off, and hugely benefits the top.

Why?
Why not treat ALL Citizens EQUALLY?
Why should one individual pay MORE or LESS than another?

The republicans keep saying that the dividend thang is fair because
50% of Americans own stocks. That is really only a partial statistic.
For the person who owns 10000 shares of Pepsi this is a great
break. For the person who owns one share of Pepsi it does not help
then at all. If you crunch the numbers over 90% of the benefit of this
goes to under 10% of the population - the ten percent that least needs
the help.

<sigh>
Many Americans -- perhaps MORE than 50% -- have retirement
instruments that fall under this DOUBLE TAXATION stock problem.
