Progressive taxes has done more to create the extreme divergence in income and wealth than anything else.


Nice spin.... You guys are really creative in coming up with your disgusting self-serving crap.

Nope;that's cuz we are much less progressive than we were 34 years ago. Divergence happens when presidential candidates pay 9 or 14%, and nurses and teachers pay 28%, and when billionaires pay lower rates than their secretaries.

The fathers of progressive taxation, like the 10 Commandments, are etched in stone. That's pretty cool.
