Lot of ignorance about taxation here. [View All]

[AP]

I just read in another thread the argument that if we make the federal tax code more progressive, you'll just have to pay for it in state and local tax increases (like property tax).

That statement has me shaking my head in sorrow. I just don't know how the democrats are ever going to fix what's wrong with society if democrats are saying that we don't need a progressive federal tax code.

If you have a progressive tax system, the economy will grow and be more productive (Keynes, anyone?).

So, I'm wondering, honestly, how much do you think you understand the math and economics of tax policy. Now, be honest, 'cause I can tell from reading posts here, that lots of people don't.
