How is it a punishment? Isn't putting majority of the tax burden on the lower classes a punishment on being less successful?

hmmm saying to me "you did better in life so we're going to take more of your money." Flat is the only fair

You didn't answer my question, you dodged it because you know I'm right. No matter what, someone gets screwed by taxes.

how can you claim to know what is in my mind, I merely pointed out how it was punishing the wealthy, and that the poor would not have to pay more they would pay equal note where I said flat is the only fair.

just for you, next week I will only work one day, and I will not spend any money, because I won't be making much.

(I'm not really going to do that, but now do you see how economics of an individual works)

See how annoying it is when someone says they know what you are thinking of?

indeed, I challenge you to find one human who has never made such a mistake.

Maybe I'm greedy because I'm working 6 shifts next week, maybe I don't deserve the money that I did work to get because I'm hard working and motivated enough to take on 6 shifts and 4 classes.

Am I greedy for living off whatever work I get and taking 4 classes for free? Do you need that money, or is it a want?

it is a desire, a desire to go take that money that I earned and go up to the good folks at ticket master and purchase a concert ticket, so that I get some enjoyment and the guy behind the counter has a paycheck to bring home to his or her family this week thanks in part due to me desiring the extra money.
