The Tyranny Of The Majority Who Pay Little Or Nothing In Federal Taxes
It may come as a shock to populists, but “the rich” have rights too.
As an increasingly sizable majority pays no taxes, the minority’s representation becomes ever more illusory. The minority will be taxed, its property rights will be eroded, and it will have no meaningful say in the matter. A tyrant is a tyrant, whether he’s a king or a block-voting majority of dependents.
To fix this problem, we need to lower the top tax rates and spread out the tax base. Because all Americans need to have a hand in funding the federal government.
