If you like the idea of a state-sponsored notion of a caste system, by all means support unequal taxation. Those of us committed to equality and freedom will take our ball and go home.
Well the rich would also benefit because of the overall benefit to the economy. This plan will benefit almost everyone. Also the rich could just spend less.

Sorry mwillman that how the tax is progressive post will have to wait until tomorrow.
