Not while we have guns.. Socialism doesn't work when the populous is armed with half the firearms in the world

They're not trap questions. I'm trying to determine what amRam considers unfair. He started with:



but then said that a system where 2 of those 3 things are true is "perfectly fair". So then is it the 3rd thing, the fact that higher earners pay a higher tax percentage, that makes the system unfair?

Correct. Higher percentage makes it unfair. Flat tax would be fair. That's just a statement of fact. I'm not arguing for either.

Maybe we're operating under different definitions, but to me, "unfair" doesn't just mean that there's a difference, but that the difference is unjustified or unreasonable. When you say that higher tax brackets are unfair, are you saying that there is no good reason for having them?

Didn't I just say I'm not arguing for or against either?

Reasonable and justified is subjective. Fair would be taxing the dollar, not the earner.

I think crying for tax reforms is a waste of time regardless. It's not the revenue that's problematic, it's the spending.
 
Even if i agree with fool seeing him and amadeus argue economics is so cringy

Basically a socialist versus an american with no interpretation of modern economics debating in cringe fest

I cant even take sides lulz :lol:
