It is the government that creates increases wealth inequality.
If not for progressive taxes, wealth inequality would be higher.
Prove it.
Cite peer reviewed evidence or argument from first principles.
Because if not for progressive taxation, rich people would pay less in taxes, and poor people would pay more.
Are you suggesting that rich people paying less in taxes would make them poorer?
Or that poor paying more in taxes would make them richer?
Those are the only scenarios which would reduce financial inequality, and both are self-contradictory.
Couldn't have put it better myself.
I thought that it was obvious that progressive taxation reduces wealth inequality.
