I am surprised though - I always found the progressivity of the rate to be intellectually indefensible. Nothing will be closer to fair than a proportional, single rate. Some of those who disagree with that statement will complain about how much the rich "have left after paying taxes", and THAT motive would be socialistic. The minute it goes to "But the rich can AFFORD to pay more" - that's a symptom of a socialistic mindset.
