re: #179 researchok

Why should how the income is earned make a difference?

Should a widow making a union pension income of 75k a year pay more in taxes than someone else who has a job? How about a fireman’s young widow with 3 kids to raise- should she pay more?

Should a college professor who teaches a few grad classes and does research be taxed at a higher rate than a TA who works his ass off?

And who gets to make the rules?
