No justice in liberals' policy on taxes

With the mistaken concept of modern liberals that the rich fail to pay their fair share of taxes, what is the justice that says the top 10 percent of taxpayers should pay over 70 percent of federal taxes while 47 percent of Americans pay nothing toward the tax burden?

The party of "equal economy" rules out the role of ambition, talent and hard work that creates the gap between rich and poor. There is nothing justifiable about a tax policy that reduces growth and denies opportunity.

These modern liberals seem to look at America as a country of great inequality and persecution. In contradiction to this attitude, it should be seen that conservative values create more freedom and prosperity to be enjoyed by more citizens than any other civilization in the history of the world.
