Your rather extreme libertarian views have really well thought out rebuttals and it makes me think you haven't actually read much to challenge these ideas of yours. I have major libertarian tendencies and I find your arguments extremely wanting.
Please provide some resources, as I'd love to expand my knowledge in this area. I'm serious.
Perhaps I worded a few things incorrectly here. I think a flat tax is a much more workable solution, perhaps with credits at for the lowest income levels.
This is a rather poor argument, though, because even if the rich didn't benefit more than the poor, the progressive tax system is moral for other reasons (decreasing marginal utility of a dollar, most importantly).

Can you explain more about this?
