Your parroting of the stale drivel of the Marxist/Leninist anti-American domestic enemy is about as original as a Gray Davis speech...

My analysis makes perfect sense. In the real world, businesses cut prices to raise revenues. In fact, for their "best customers", businesses often cut prices the most (i.e., discounts on volume purchases). However, in the fantasy world of the government, they do things completely the opposite of the real world! They raise prices (i.e., tax rates) in an attempt to generate more revenue. And, they charge their "best customers" (i.e., biggest taxpayers) the most! How long do you think a business in the real world would survive if they had a "graduated pricing system" where their best customers get charged the HIGHEST unit price?
