No one is suggesting wealth should be equal, but if we choose to ignore history and continue in a system where the wealthiest continue to gain the most benefits due to an unequal playing field (regarding taxation), we're doomed to repeat said history.
Tax reform is a must.
I agree. I know many of us are beating a dead horse but a consumption tax collected at the time of purchase(s) is the quickest and most immediate way to "level the playing field". No loopholes to deal with, one set rate that shows no biases towards economic status, color or political parties.
