With respect, no, we don’t all agree. When you say, “By what right should they retain a percentage of what they earn or make equal to the percentage retained by those who earn less?” The answer is - because it’s theirs. By what right do you take it away?

That was irony; I am agreeing and making explicit the unspoken assumptions of progressive taxation.
