I have that guy on ignore. If you want to make a point make it.
I'll quote it for you....
.As I have linked before, federal income tax is quite progressive, but our tax policy OVERALL is not. To any rational person overall tax policy is what matters because, well, that's what you actually pay. When you look at ALL taxes our system is barely progressive. These numbers are a bit out of date because they don't account for ACA taxes but overall it's still pretty close.

So now that you've realized our system isn't actually very progressive at all but thought that they would be paying their 'fair share' in a very progressive system, presumably you are okay with raising their taxes now. Just kidding, I'm sure you'll find a new excuse.
