IMO the progressive tax code should be illegal. Just because someone
is wealthy is no reason to tax them at a higher rate. Actually the tax
codes as "sold" to the public just before 1916 was said to only apply
to the very wealthy. You can see how long that lasted. It's always
easier to point to the rich guys (who are always fewer in number than
the masses) and convince those with less finances how evil the wealthy
are for no other reason than they have more money. Tax rates and
ticket costs should be the same for everyone. Just because the
socialist in Europe are doing it doesn't mean it's right.
Just because the wealthy have more money doesn't mean they should spend
more on the government and all the stupid things they like to spend our
taxes on. The government does so many things they have no business
doing it's no wonder we're trillions in debt. Things like peanut
allotments which do nothing but keep prices high, cotton and diary
products get the same treatment. The govt is tossing suply and demand
in order to "manage" production. And in return those industries
"donate" huge dollars to get the people elected who will continue these
and other practices.
Back to progressive laws that punish the wealthy more than others.
There is no reason to tax the rich at higher rates than everyone else.
So there :-P

pay these fines, as a means of shouldering the cost of governing.
