Ah, to be in sixth grade again, just learning to read at an adult level...

First time I've ever heard anyone argue the law is the true
measure of fairness.

Duh. If you've never heard anybody 'argue the law is the true measure
of fairness' then you still haven't. Learn to read.

Paul, care to tell me what this sentence means?

I think he's saying that I didn't mean to imply that. And he's right.

So what did you mean by
"If he's paid his full share of tax according to the law
freeloading doesn't come into it. "?

This has been explained to you in three separate posts by three
individuals. However, that doesn't mean you won't benefit from yet a
fourth attempt to hammer this simple idea into your ultradensium skull:




Progressive income tax--- higher incomes are taxed at a higher rate
than lower incomes
Flat income tax--- all income is taxed at the same rate
Regressive income tax-- lowe incomes are taxed at ahigher rate than
higher incomes.
Scott's plan is a regressive tax. Basing taxes on per capita rahter
than on income results in the most radically regtressive tax possible.
if the tax burden is per capita (total budget /# of working people),
lets say the burden
iS $10,000 per capita, that is a $10,000 perperson tax, thit is, the
ve3ry first $10,000
annual income each person makes, goes directly for taxes, and any
income above that $10,000 is entirely tax free.

This, according to Scott, is the most fair and equitable distribution
of the tax burden.
First, one gets to pay his taxes, after that one gets to live, maybe!!!!

I accept that people should be allowed to live first...so the basic
living wage should be tax free. Then pay your fair share.
Anything above that....you keep.

Good!
You have progressed from slavery to permanent indentured
servitude.
