The heresy of proportionalism

The poor children today like to assess their tax situation as "how much of the dollar are you taking from me". 

I realize that mathematics can be done in a few ways, but in reality, when you view taxation as the movement to take a percentage of every dollar you earn, you have lost your own marbles down the drain of intense arrogance.

In reality, taxation is more like surgery.  If you need to make a certain tax rate payment, imagine that you are having your appendix removed.  This does not negate that the surgeon is taking one cell from every organ in your body.

In reality if you made a million dollars and USA took 400,000 $, that might be more equated with a fat man who has a large percentage of his fat tissue removed.  Not akin to a lobotomy and a heart valve resection and a lung lobectomy.   The man is fatter and there is more 'tissue' to be removed.

Think about this because it is ignorant to say that the government is taking say 40 cents on every dollar you make or whatever else it involves.
