"I'm afraid I do support the concept of a graduated income tax"

Then you do NOTT believe in equal treatment before the law (bu government).

Quit spouting excerpts from the DOI that clearly you do NOTT agree with.

You believe in government discrimination. Apparently based on "good fortune".

LOL! What a logical mess that leads to.

Hypo: Bob wins $4 million in the lottery. Ed decides to take a job cleaning up nuclear waste in Fukushima, knowing that he will be shortening his life by 10 years - Ed is paid $4 million for his service.

Bob and Ed both made $4 million last year. Which of them has more "good fortune" and thus should be taxed at a higher rate than the other?

Please answer.
