Personally I think having a progressive tax system as we do (or even more progressive) is appropriate/desirable. I see it as the American version of "noblesse oblige" To a certain extent I agree with the "noblesse oblige" idea. However, I disagree with your preferred method of execution. Noblesse oblige is the inferred responsibility to act with generosity, a willful and voluntary act. Paying a tax is neither. While God loves a cheerful giver, the government doesn't care. JLC |
