As I said -- we tax them more. The poor demand the most government services,
therefore they should be forced to pay for those services.

It makes as much sense as taxing the rich, or didn't you realize that is
just tilting the slippery slope the other way?

Screw that. I'm pretty freakin' poor right now (work as a pilot) and I don't
demand any gov't services...why the hell should I be taxed more.

We should abolish income tax and go for a federal sales tax.

John, if you're poor, the last thing you want is a sales tax. It's a
regressive tax, which in plain language means that poor people pay a
larger proportion of their income than rich people.

This regressive/progressive crap gives me the gripes... There is only one
fair structure for society...
One man, one vote...
One dollar, one tax...
The fact that someone didn't shag their ass 16 hours a day like I have done
my entire life to make a good living for my family doesn't entitle them to
not pay their way, or make ME pay more taxes per dollar...

Didn't argue with what you said. Just pointed out the problem with it.
Who is "unproductive" and by who's standards. As an example, managment
argues that some auto assembly line workers are unproductive yet they "pay
their way" tax-wise. Who is the dictator that decides? This is the slippery
slope that has led to many despotic regimes.
