Taxation is the Transfer of Time.

The problem with discussing taxation is that we are discussing incomes, that is money. Money holds an almost mystic definition and thus, an elusive methodology of determining its worth. People do not value money by the same measurement. They make the incredibly false determination about it not based on rational intellect but on the succubus of emotionalism. 

Idiots like Bernie Sanders believe that those whom make the most should pay the most. Normally I don't like to sound angry, but frankly, idiot is the only appropriate word to describe such illogical nonsense. He does not understand the basic Economy of Liberty, let alone the construction of value of the First Estate.

The fact is that every single one of us is limited to the amount of time we will have to work with on this planet. This time is in fact our only real commodity, and money is merely a tool by which we reflect the time we have spent. The socialist that has the idea that you pay more of your time based on the money you earn hasn't really thought it out.

The Example
Let us look at two different people. One person who makes $10 an hour and another person who makes $100 an hour. Person A, at $10 an hour earns $20,800 a year. While person B is earning $208,000 a year. According to the graduated tax structure (2014) forced on us, Person A would pay 15% of that as tax, while person B would pay 33% as Tax.

15% v. 33%
What this means is that for Person A, 15% of that $10/hour is to be considered property of the government, but more importantly, 15% of the actual hour is assigned as work that must be done for the sake of the government. This means that for Person A, 85% of his life is his to live. The government is saying, that the other 85% of their time, is Person A's to use as they wish and that it owns Person A for 15% of that hour.  But Person B, is told to give up 33% of their time, leaving 67% of Person B's life to be used as they wish.  Really think about this. For Person A, the first 9 minutes of the hour is owned by the government (6 hours a week, 13 days a year). Person B on the other hand works for the first 20 minutes for the government (13 hours a week, 28 days a year).   

The worst current federal tax is 39.9%: 16 hours a week 34.6 days a year.

This doesn't even take into account the state tax graduation system. Doing so, most people whom make more than 80K a year pay about 30% tax.

This means:
1. Punishment - The Rich are punished for their work by sacrificing their time at a greater rate than the poor, as if it is something to be guilty of, they are punished, they are guilty for doing well.
2. Poor people are more valuable - The poor get to keep more of their time - the only true commodity - than the rich, therefore simply speaking, the poor are more valuable. This is because they are given more opportunity to do something with their time. The great irony, is that they don't, else they would be part of the evil rich. This is of course on purpose.
3. Rich people have to pay to allow the poor more time - This ability for the poor to hold more of their time has be be paid for by the rich. 
4. The altruistic tool to vilify wealth - The altruist wants to make wealth evil, selfish. They have to point it at wealth, because its tangible, its easy to look at and define by the meaningless emotionalists. 

Taxation is not about wealth it is about the theft of time.  All men are entitled to the work of their time, this is what equality is really about. Equality is about equal access to our First Estate, the working of our own minds, and the time to pursue those things that make us happy. Any agency that demands some spend more time for the sacrifice of others is not only unfair but outright criminal.
