taxing income, it taxing productivity, its lame, productivity should be rewarded, at least be allowed to keep all your hard earned money

I agree that that is a need for some government services, they can be paid for with user fees and consumption taxes, higher taxes on products that use non renewable resource, consumption tax discourages waste, less use of non renewable resource, less waste disposal, better for environment and encourages an economy of savings

Sales tax and User fees are more productive in fundng a socially responsible state than an income tax
