DId I suggest the "Fair Tax" was a liberal/conservative issue? I believe in progressive taxation. This glorified sales tax scheme is fair only if you count "fair" in a way I don't. "To those whom much is given, much will be required; to those whom little is given, little will be asked." That's from the Gospels, and it seems "god's" economy of grace, of gifting doesn't match your style. Pity, really. Also, I advocate for the complete overhaul of the current welfare system, not tinkering, complete overhaul. Getting something for nothing hurts the individual, the community, and society as a whole.

So if I get you right if someone makes alot of money it is given to them. So working 60 hrs a week compared to 40 hrs means I have been given something. I don't endose the gospel economy(at least not at this time in history). Your belief in what you call progressive taxation comes from Karl Marx. I believe Marx's system was used by Russia. It didn't seem to work. If getting something for nothing hurts everything then getting something because you work hard and smart should help everything?
