podatek progresywny
Logika" podatku progresywnego to najogólniej "zabrać bogatym - dać biednym". Jest to swego rodzaju zalegalizowana (przez "biedną" większość w demokracji) kradzież pieniędzy. Każdy podatek to swego rodzaju kradzież, bo przymusowy, bo duży, bo źle wydawany :) - ale ten, to czysta kradzież :) w biały dzień, w czystych rekawiczkach. (wortale.republika.pl/podatki/logika_poda)
