Countering Specious Tax Arguments

Will Rice | Taxes, Charity and Ignorance: Will Rice pushes back against the specious argument that paying down our national debt should come from charity instead of reform | Coffee Party

...Wealthy people who advocate for higher taxes on themselves and people like them, but abstain from making voluntary contributions to help retire the federal debt, are being perfectly consistent. Their aim is an improved system of taxation in which everyone takes an appropriate part, not haphazard, insufficient acts of charity that fall entirely to the most generous. The real hypocrites are the critics who pretend not to understand the difference between taxes and charity.
