Tom, Dick, and Harry explain the inequities of the progressive income tax

This is an excellent video, which explains perfectly how inequitable the progressive income tax is. Of course, the logical counter is that this video presumes that lifestyle choices create different financial outcomes. The Left will argue vigorously that the rich aren’t just rich because of greed, but the poor are poor because of racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, classism, inequality, and all sorts of other things over which they have no control. To penalize them for the fact that they have no money is infinitely less fair than to penalize the rich because they do have money.
