I said: Actually I had always thought the reasoning behind a graduated tax was to provide a break for lower income earners

Definitely not

Then later you say:

Through the liberal control the masses demanded ever more in graduated tax in what they thought would be a way to reduce the taxes paid by the lower half.

Aren't you saying the same thing I said above? Remember I'm simply trying to understand what was the thinking behind a graduated tax. If I'm incorrect that that was the reasoning how come your explanation sounds a lot like mine? Or am I missing some significant point.

BTW my friend wasn't stating what he believed to be right, but what he was taught was the reasoning behind the graduated tax. You seem to lose these subtleties when you are on a rant about the socialistic tendencies of the government. If you go back to my original post I stated and still state that the graduated tax is unfair, but that doesn't stop me from wondering what the reasoning behind it is.
