July 13, 2017
Progressives are angry people. They see injustice in the world everywhere, and they really want to correct it. They want to make things more equal, they always claim. So, to make things more equal, they violate the principle of justice: every person equal under the law.
For a long time, Washington state’s Constitution has thwarted the state’s liberals’ attempts to spread their agenda far and wide across that land. It limited any state income tax to a flat 1%, no matter how much you make. Liberals call this “regressive” because it applies equally to the rich and to the poor.
Kind of like God’s tithe. They would say God’s principle of the tithe, 10% regardless of who you are, is unfair, punitive, and “regressive.”
