I've generally been in favor of progressive taxation, following the established economic consensus that high taxes on the wealthy is socially optimal.
- (I would prefer this were focused more strongly on Pigouvian and land taxes rather than income and property taxes, but in the absence of that option I guess I'll take income taxes.)
- Of course, I've been effectively unemployed for the first ~10 years of my adult life, so it's easy to talk big about taxing others.
- Now that I have a real job, I just looked up my new tax bracket and WTF THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO TAKE 35% OF MY MONEY‽
- Market resolves in 5 years based on whether I become significantly more opposed to income taxes on people who make the same amount of money as I do.
- My stated reasons for this are irrelevant.
