Why would you need to invent a lunatic baseball analogy? There is literally already a baseball tax on the rich that is funneled directly to poor teams.
What you are saying is the Yankees are the biggest victims in MLB. Do you feel dirty? I feel dirty just having written those words...
Yeah, I'm referring now to the thread you actively ignored for three weeks. I see now you did come back after I'd said "**** it" and posted an answer that contained absolutely no content whatsoever while ignoring my points. Sure was worth the wait. DEFINITELY makes me want to have more adult conversations with you.

Sorry that my life doesn't revolve around "getting back to Meta"
But since you're unable and/or unwilling to explain why taxing one group of people more than a different group of people is somehow NOT discriminatory, I guess I'll go on with my life assuming I am correct.

So since Meta is out now...
Can someone tell me that % of their income the rich should be paying? Like, an actual number?
Your initial thoughts are valid though. I did my grad work in the 1980s on flat-tax/limited marginal rate frameworks and there's a lot of support for going to a structure like that. The credit/deduction/zero-bracket part of the discussion is where the gummy worms melt and things get sticky.
