2) Approximately 70% of
Federal taxes are today paid by *10%* of the taxpayers.
What all such proposals thus come down to is that people
as a whole want things that most of them will never have to
pony up for. Call this what you like (wealth redistribution,
socialism, theft, etc.) it all boils down to a single
inarguable reality: The many fleece the few, call it "charity"
and thereby justify what is essentially a dishonest act.

I notice that proponents of this theory [conveniently] never tell you
that those poor, poor, over-taxed 10% already OWN 70% of the wealth (or
whatever number is in vogue by whatever particular group that loves to grind
this ax) .
Bring on the Flat Tax and maybe we can put this argument to bed.
