A tax plan that bills everyone an equal amount is also wrong since lower income people would pay a higher percentage of their income than higher income people would. I would support a flat tax rate across the board for everyone. Why should a person be penalized for earning enough to move into an increased tax bracket. If I move into a higher tax bracket, I don't magically get more or better services from the government.
You're right about wealth/income. I'm just recalling Obama's statement from memory and could have substituted wealth for income.
If Joe the Plumber, real or fictional, has managed to become more successful, Obama has no right to redistribute Joe's income. That right is Joe's.
