There always has been and always will be a “tax” on those who cannot or will not apply math to their financial decisions. Of course the degree to which we provide opportunities to collect this tax is a societal decision and we’ve almost certainly increased the opportunities for tax collectors in the last ten to fifteen years quite dramatically. And of course, de facto the under educated folks, who also are likely to be poor, will tend to be taxed at a disproportionate rate. Yet another wealth transfer. I wonder what societal attitudes led us down this road?
