It's weird, when it comes to taxes, a candidate has no problem saying we want to tax something to make less of it, for example, raising the cigarette tax to deter smoking. But then we want to raise taxes on people who make more money. Do they want less of that as well? Hmmm
If we want to tax activities we want less of, and we want to subsidize activities we want more of, why do we tax success and subsidize failure?
