The “progressive” taxman cometh

"Barack Obama thinks it is fair to increase the tax on the man who harvests 200 watermelons, and reduce the tax on the man who harvests 100 watermelons, using the flawed logic that since the second man has more, he can afford it. This logic ignores the principle that what a person earns should be his. It ignores the principle of equal opportunity, and equal burden. And, perhaps worst of all, it penalizes productivity and success." --Henry Lamb
