    There's a reason why there was a ? in my subject. It wasn't clear at the time I was posting it was a dupe.

    At the time I was posting, the article got slashdotted so there was no article to read. Not even Google's Cache was saving us.

    Besides, this story is very close to the billboard story in that Google is posting its want ads in the form of geek quizes in order to reduce the number of resumes they get and hopefully improve their signal-to-noise ratio. If anything, the summary should have at least mentioned the past story to make it glaringly clear it wasn't a dupe.

    So, now the rich guy is taxed on only 20% of his income and the nearly-poor guy is taxed on 75%.

    This is going to sound like a troll, but ...

    Why should people who have more, pay more?

    It's off-topic, etc., but I'm curious if anyone can answer this without using subjective, ambigious words such as "fair" or "just," because it seems that the general "explanation" for paying taxes as a percentage of income is, "Well, that's only fair." Which explains nothing.
