What greedy Americans! “Don’t Raise my taxes!”

I asked “Why don’t let all the Bush tax cuts expire and raise everyone’s taxes? Aren’t we all in this together?”

Oh well.

This presupposes that being ‘all in this together’ (at an implied 1:1 ratio) is desirable on its own.

The same logic could be used to deduce that a flat tax (in percent or dollar amount, take your pick) is reasonable and appropriate.

Circular logic is circular.
