A man works hard all his life. Every paycheck his company takes out taxes. He takes what is left and buys food for his family. More taxes. He buys a house. More taxes. He scrimps and manages to save some. He pays taxes on the interest he earns. Dies and leaves the money he has EARNED and already paid taxes on to his kids. Goverment gets half. Kids take what is left and buys a house, food, a car, clothes, a Playstation 2, or anything else a pays more taxes. Or maybe the kids put it into the bank to pass on to the grandchildren after they die. What do they get in return? (hint: more taxes) Income tax, sales tax, property tax, luxury tax, estate tax.
A flat-rate income tax is the only fair system I can imagine.
