@danielwithmusic The reasoning goes that since income tax can be scaled by how much you make, rich people _should_ pay more.

@danielwithmusic It's not a bad idea in theory, but of course the government is run by rich people, so unsurprisingly, it doesn't work out. -
@danielwithmusic So while income tax could _theoretically_ be less regressive, _in practice_ a flat sales tax would probably be better.
