On: Media Owned by Wealthy Are Quick to Tell You Wealth Taxes Are a Bad Idea

A person is a person, fair and square to be treated equal - until we can extract more from ones pocketbook.

I would look at it as the surcharge on protecting a person's wealth. A person with no wealth doesn't need to have their wealth protected. A person with a great deal of wealth enjoys the benefits of taxation, having their wealth protected from the starving mobs outside their estate.

A person is treated equally. If a person is poor, they get taxed little. If that same person becomes rich, they get taxed more.

Money isn't a protected class. Why do you act like it is?
