“while you are entitled to your personal opinion you would have to say something more substantial than just having met a number of people to argue in favor of a greater tax rate.”
I’m not the one making the chiddush. We currently have a progressive tax system, even under Trump’s plan. You seem to be the only arguing that we should return to the antiquated system where the rich don’t pay any more than the poor. Generally, the one advocating a radical change is the one expected to need more backing.
I’m not sure which one of us isn’t understanding the other. Are you aware that the rich already pay a higher rate than everyone else? Are you advocating they pay a lower rate? What exactly are you hung up on about what I said?
Also, not to sound condescending, but please tone down the buzz-phrases like “imposing beliefs.” Believing that a progressive tax rate is fair isn’t “imposing” any more than believing a flat tax rate is fair.
