nonsense. of course it won't work. the middle class would probably pay

ANY taxation scheme can be made to work, including the rather
preposterous Rube Goldbergery we operate under now.

Where do people get the idea that the wealthy apparently just sit on
their money or bury it or some such silliness?

why do the rich think the middle class doesn't deserve enough money to
buy a house, feed their kids, and have a car after working so hard?
