    A moron… sure, but uninformed, absolutely not.

    I’ve been on this earth long enough to realize that income taxes are penalties on the working class for being too poor to make their money from investments or inheritance.

      That’s due to the structure of the tax bracketing. It’s not inherent to taxation. If the bracketing were closer to a “wealth tax” distribution, it would be more fair than a wealth tax.
