The freedoms won in 1776, were lost in the 1913 thanks to the 16th amendment and the introduction of the Federal Reserve. With the income tax firmly in place, it gave the politicos in DC the right to your income, and by extension the right to control your life, your work, and your future. The answer isn't taxing the rich more ensuring that billionaires "pay their fair share" but it's to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment. Tinkering with rates or "fairness" won't fix the root problem. We cannot have traditional American freedom while the government has unlimited taxing power.
