- hopfenspergerj 2y agoYou can obviously compensate by changing other taxes to be more progressive, this is such a silly argument.
- rokkitmensch 2y agoA nuance is perhaps lost, I'm not saying don't do it, merely that simplistic messaging feeds into the binary crisis.
- mardifoufs 2y agoSure but that doesn't happen. Start by doing that, not by implementing the regressive part first.
