I'm not disagreeing with you.


Capital gains rates for someone making $50K are 0%, but how many people (besides retirees) making that much have investment income?

All things being equal, lower wages earners do realize a greater ROI on their FICA taxes, but they have to live long enough to receive those benefits. You have to compare the life expectancies for a mine worker in West Virginia to a plastic surgeon in Manalapan. The latter may receive benefits for 20+ years. The former is probably lucky to see age 70.

I'm not espousing a policy position one way or the other. I can provide an equally valid argument and counterargument to almost any tax proposal.
