We are all are equal, but some pay higher tax rates than others.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Fairness dictates that the highest income people should pay the greatest share of taxes, and they do.
Taxes are what we pay for civilized society, for modernity, and for prosperity. The wealthy pay more because they have benefitted more.
Tax should be the same for everybody.
The rich aren't like us, they pay less taxes.
We are supposed to all be equal before the law, but we have a separate and distinct ruling class, and that is wrong.
I don't think we live in a particularly equal society.
When there is an income tax, the just man will pay more and the unjust less on the same amount of income.
Too often, we fall into the trap of thinking 'equal' means 'the same' and that we achieve equality by treating everyone identically.
The truth is, no one pays more tax than they have to.
We are not supposed to be all equal. Let's just forget that. We are supposed to have equal rights under law. If we do that, we have done enough.
