roachboy, fair enough. But I'd rather see businesses taxed and held to tax laws, no loopholes, than see individuals have to pay up. I'm pretty sure that corporations make more money than the CEOs that work for them (most times, sadly not always, SCO) so it just makes more sense to go to them for the money.
As I'm not a politician and don't work for one, I'm not sure I can have political reasons for doing things per se. Seeing as how both parties are Hellbent on taking as much money as spending it as fast as they can lately, I don't think it's politically biased of me one way or the other to oppose higher individual taxes. Perhaps that's the proper way to frame the question that started in my head with that article- is the government wrong to raise individual taxes, when they're already at such a high percentage, while allowing businesses all kinds of loopholes and allowing money to be funneled and misspent and just plain lost? I say, no.
Side note- French Revolution? What, seriously? They cleared out some monarchy, got saddled with bureaucrats and petty nobles who quickly solidified their power base, did a bad job of running the place, and let Napoleon take over. How was that a success? I can't help but notice that the poor in France aren't exactly running the show these days, and haven't been for quite some time.
