- Jtsummers 13y agoWhat you're describing is progressive taxes [1]. Those predate socialism by a good bit, and have been present in the US for over 150 years. And in England even longer, certainly predating any notion of "socialist countries". [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_tax http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_tax
