Quote:So what about wealth redistribution republicans are for? You are against that as well, right?


Also, a progressive tax has been standard and deemed equitable by both conservatives and liberals for quite some time. not sure you can consider that communist...

 

I certainly am against any kind of "redistribution" at all, especially when it comes to economics.  We don't "distribute" in this country we "earn".

 

I very much don't like our current tax system, and would love to see something like the Fair Tax Act one day become law.  However, it will never gain ground because it does something that is vital to today's politicians.  It takes power away from them and returns it to the people.

 

Would I call our current "progressive" tax system communist?  Not really, but it is used in some ways that are communist in my point of view.  To threaten to raise taxes on higher achievers (higher income earners) is in no way fair, especially when lower income people pay virtually no tax or a negative tax.
