Taxes today are used by government as a tool to instill certain behavior. Like the cigarette tax is supposed to stop smoking (and it is over time). However, when you tax success, it is government saying it wants LESS of it. When you tax wages, it is government saying, don't work so hard. When you tax economic activity, it says you want LESS of it.
Taxes should be paid by people for government. We should all pay EQUALLY. Yes this hurts the poor, that was the founding fathers intent, least government grow too large. What was the burden on the average citizen back in the day? And how large was government?
We MUST stop using the tax code for social ills.
