Fair Taxation

In general, the greater one’s income, the greater the percentage of that income is derived from investments (dividends and capital gains)—which are taxed at less than half the rate as ordinary wages and salary—and the greater one’s ability to free up some of that income to help finance interest groups and lobbyists to maintain that differential.  

It’s an obscenity that sitting-on-your-ass earnings are treated as more worthy than that earned by ‘sweat of the brow’. 

And it’s an expression of idiocy when people parrot the spoon-fed line about ‘Class Warfare’ any time somebody suggests that this injustice be corrected.
