Violent revolution is more realistic than passing a non-regressive tax law in the US.

  That must be why we have so many violent revolutions and so few taxes

      Plenty of taxes are progressive. Despite being demonified by the right, they couldn’t do away with progressive Obamacare when they had congress and the white house in their hands recently despite almost a decade of promise saying they’d do it as soon as they had power. Turns out maybe progressive taxes aren’t that unthinkable after all if even the republicans couldn’t kill Obamacare

  As an aside, US income tax is very progressive by international norms. https://www.econlib.org/lower-income-americans-are-taxed-much-less-heavily-than-lower-income-europeans/ https://www.econlib.org/lower-income-americans-are-taxed-muc...
