Well, it really isn't fair for one group of people to be paying higher taxes than another group. The fair thing to do would be to have one flat rate for all citizens of America.

People do have a right to their earnings you know.

However, it's not fair for any one single group of people to have more tax breaks than another, too.

But that's just too radical. We've got to punish the rich because they have more stuff and take their stuff away. How dare the rich have more stuff than anybody else.

OK, so I'll buy that, one set of tax rates for all income.
(capital gains, inheritance, salary, pension, interest, rent)

But, then you go off the rails of reality, and pretend that it's the rich that are being penalized.
Really, how do you arrive at the notion that the people in the nicest houses, with the nicest things are the people who are being punished, and the people living at the edge of poverty are the people being favored?
