The purpose of taxes
By Matthew Hoy on January 12, 2007
You don't have to read past the first sentence of this New York Times editorial to know that the rest is bunk.
The tax system in the United States is supposed to mitigate inequality.
A civics refresher course for the Times editors on the 16th Amendment:
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
Idiots.

Rule no. 1 of media watchdogging (is that a word?): Never, ever, ever, EVER, trust the NY Times when it comes to anything economic.
They will tell you that the anti-capitalist, pro-socialist pap is the way to go. And anyone who thinks otherwise is an "extremist."
