Violent revolution is more realistic than passing a non-regressive tax law in the US.

As an aside, US income tax is very progressive by international norms.

That must be why we have so many violent revolutions and so few taxes

"non-regressive" was doing all the work in that sentence

Plenty of taxes are progressive. Despite being demonified by the right, they couldn’t do away with progressive Obamacare when they had congress and the white house in their hands recently despite almost a decade of promise saying they’d do it as soon as they had power. Turns out maybe progressive taxes aren’t that unthinkable after all if even the republicans couldn’t kill Obamacare
