The "progressive" tax model is inherently unfair and akin to being socialistic. Why? Because your last bag of $10000 should not be taxed at any higher rate than your first bag of $10000.
If it is higher for a given group of people "because they can afford it", then that is discriminitory in a socialistic way.

I think you have it backwards. They give tax breaks on the lower portions of income. Taking 10 percent off a hundred affects the person left with ninety far more than taking a hundred and leaving someone with nine hundred. So, those on the low end pay less, because they have less...and need a greater portion of what they do have to survive...
