The federal income tax is a hundred year old. Before your daddy was born, liberals were saying the same **** you're saying. Even under FDR, the wealthy paid nothing near the rate - and they don't now, either. It all gets gamed down to nothing by the attorneys. But at least FDR - the last democrat president - forced the wealthy to shelter their money ON-shore, in a manner that hepped the economy.
Money can move - land cannot. Best thing for the income tax is dump it - and the useless eaters that make an industry of it, too - put them to productive work. You're more likely to see a windmill that doesn't wipe out endangered birds and cause cancers with its toxic noise pollution than you are to see the federal income tax applied more burdensomely to the super wealthy than to the productive class.
What's your next gem gonna be about - peak oil, for **** sake? Women's suffrage? The colored problem? The masturbatory fantasy that the federal income tax is EVER gonna **** with generational wealth is older than the leather patches on your tweed sweater, son.
LVT is progressive. The more you own, the more you pay - full stop.
