re: #12 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

I am, in principal, opposed to punishment of success.

I know it won’t be a popular opinion, but it is what it is.

So you’re for a flat tax then?

because progressive taxation by its nature will always “punish success” in some way

Personally, I think that anyone in America who is making seven or eight figures owes a lot more to the country that gave them the infrastructure and the safety and the markets and the tools and the legal mechanisms to make that money, and thus they pay a lot more, because their life and their income is more beholden to what the government has provided for them
