Entry: Greenspan's Gambits Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/greenspans_gambits#5430 Post contents: The data given in the Tax Foundation studies I cited are taken from the IRS's own statistical abstracts. If Joe wishes to attack the veracity of the data I cite, let him do so by showing in what way they are false rather than by ad hominem attacks on the source. As for the progressive income tax, it is my view that the government has no business redistributing income or wealth. This is a perversion of the Founders' intent. James Madison said that the most important duty of government was the safeguarding of its citizens' private property. Redistributive taxation makes government a predator of its citizens' assets rather than the guardian it should be. Sent at: 2008 11 22
