I’m still waiting for someone to remind the public of the nature and value of a progressive tax system. It’s the way things have always been (until Reagan) and the most fair. We’ve flipped to a regressive tax system, where the middle class and poor pay more through income tax, sales taxes, fees, etc. as a percentage of their income than the rich. This isn’t class warfare… it’s fairness.

Thanks, John Stewart and thanks, Mr. Stein for helping keep these sane perpectives in front of us.
