Reducing Inequity

The Glaring Inequality of Obamaville - Pat Buchanan, Pitt Tribune-Review

 

“Republicans will argue that raising the district tax rate to 15 percent on incomes above $250,000 will precipitate an exodus into Maryland and Virginia, where the top tax rates are not half of that. Conservatives believe as an article of faith that tax rates heavily influence economic behavior.”

This would lower the average income of the high earners and thereby reduce inequity (locally at least). A true progressive solution.  Better yet, we could force the high earners to leave the country (and telecommute?). A final solution, cut government salaries across the board to match average wages in DC. The ultimate progressive solution.
