Kind of like one senator challenging military promotions? And now two senators challenging state department ambassador nominations? Gotta protect the tyranny of the minority, no?
The electoral college, the filibuster, equal power in the senate for low-population states, no term limits for federal judges (particularly the supreme court), partisan gerrymandering, corporations as "people" (who can donate unlimited amounts to campaigns)...are all massive structural defects in our system.
This Article examines that status quo to show that the тАЬincomeтАЭ tax is dead, replaced by a universal wage tax in which payroll taxes add on to a wage/income tax to highly, and inescapably, burden labor while wealth is left off the hook of taxation altogether.
Liberals and progressives must change the way they think about tax in order to get non-taxpaying billionaires to pay anything at all.

The electoral college, the filibuster, equal power in the senate for low-population states, no term limits for federal judges (particularly the supreme court), partisan gerrymandering, corporations as "people" (who can donate unlimited amounts to campaigns)...are all massive structural defects in our system.
