None whatever. There is absolutely no valid moral reason why people
should have to pay higher and higher rates of tax on additional
increments of income.


Depends if you are a tax accountant and a tax lawyer, in which
case your business model is based upon scaring the higher paid
to use your services to avoid paying the incremental taxes. Countries
that have progressive tax regimes have more tax accountants
per capita - which is good for the economy as it spreads the wealth
around more than taxing the wealthy and giving that money to the
poor. Big problem is that they dont give a rat's arse about the
middle income earners who dont earn enough to warrant paying
a tax accountant and therefore pay more tax as a percentage
than the wealthy do, and end up subsidising the ultra rich and the
ultra poor.


And here's the moral reason:

When someone driving at 50 mph doubles his speed to 100 mph, it requires
eight times the power.

So when someone making $50/hr increases that to $100/hr, he should pay
eight times the taxes.

It's a Law of Nature.

Things are never as simple as that. The power required to go 50 mph
and 100 mph is composed of two parts. The rolling resistance and the
air resistance. The air resistance goes up by the cube of the speed.
So to go 100 mph requires 8 times as much power as is required to go
50 mph. However the force required for rolling resistance only goes
up by the speed. So the power to go 100 mph because of rolling
resistance is only double that required to go 50 mph. So more data
is required to give an accurate answer. What is the coefficient of
drag and what is the rolling resistance coefficient?

And that will only get you the actual force. To figure gasoline
consumption you need to know more about the engine.

And I can not see any reason tax rate should be related to power
required to drive.

So I would agree. You are a silly rabbit.

Cheers

Problem-solving isn't one of your strengths, eh?

Rolling resistance SUBTRACTS from the total needed to go 50, which is
the SUM of both.

If each contributes 1/2 of the total R at 50 MPH then you need 2 *
0.5R + 8 * 0.5R = 5R at 100 MPH.

The claim is that the aerodynamic drag rises as the cube of the speed

If the purpose of the tax system is to fund the government, then a low flat
tax will promote economic growth, and bring in more total revenue.

I agree, no moral justification....

Careful...fund the government doing what? The correct and proper
function of government *excludes* providing the basic goods and services
of life to deadbeat vermin who are too ****ing lazy to do it for
themselves: housing, food, clothing, transportation. Read our
Constitution. There is no mention of school lunches, food stamps,
Section 8 housing payments, farm subsidies, medical care provision, or
any of that massive redistribution schemes in which government at all
levels engages. The *intent* of the founders was to create an extremely
limited government - basically, one that provided national defense, a
little bit of essential infrastructure, a court system, and basic
protection of social order - and the Constitution they wrote reflects
that. By *NO* means did the founders intend government to be a vehicle
to level life's outcomes for citizens. The founders saw *NO* role for
government to redistribute wealth or income. You no they didn't because
there's nothing in the Constitution about it - the Constitution is *THE*
defining document of both the structure and the intent of government.
There is a vague statement about "general welfare", but no
interpretation of the Constitution has ever held that that meant a power
to redistribute wealth and income, or to promote the *specific* welfare
of politically favored classes like farmers or deadbeat vermin who will
vote universally for the party that promises them the softest life.

Define the duties of government in the most severely restricted role
imaginable, then impose a low flat tax just sufficient to fund those
legitimate activities. That is good and just.


I agree, no moral justification....

There is no more question about it, or where the "8" came from, Plimpy.
You're the only one who isn't able to deal with it. Crybaby.

Dell Rosso's analogy.

go elsewhere, that's natural too."

'So the rich should also agree to a graduated income tax structure,

Just about perfect, isn't it? The morality of the first, and thus both,
is inescapable.

Bad analogy, because a graduated tax *isn't* a wage, and the rich didn't
agree to it.

You're ****ed.

_ANALOGY_ , idiot! I don't need to use a graduated tax as an analogy of
a graduated tax. This is about MONEY. !00% Economics here, an excellent
analogy indeed.

and the rich didn't
agree to it.


*Should* agree, not *was* agreed.

You're ****ed.


No, your argument is ****ed. You can't logically back it up, without
demonstrating that all possible justifications are immoral. An
impossible task.
But I needed just ONE example... already done. My work is done.

A ****** analogy, you ****tard. There has to be a fundamental
similarity between the elements for the analogy to hold. In this case,
there is a fundamental *OPPOSITION* of the elements, you ****ing ****.
A tax is the complete *OPPOSITE* of a wage, and the people victimized by
the tax didn't agree to it.

Your analogy is ****ed. You are ****ed. You are not up to doing this.

Yes! The similarity is, obviously, INCOME. Wages before taxes, taxes
after wages, it makes no difference how you view it. Net Income is what
matters, to the loafing rich guy and the toiling laborer.

There is *NO* similarity - obviously. A wage is something the person
receives; a tax is something the person gives up.

The analogy is bull****: proved beyond rational dispute.
