you're charging the same five dollar tax to a person who has a very low income as you would to a rockefeller are jeffrey b.'s ost who with who counts his wealth in the billions i think that's. unfair that's a situation in which a broken part of b. economy that lends some people have more money than they know what to do with while other people don't have enough food or shelter ok and pay their kids' way to college etc this isn't an unfair tax which by the way was recognized here in the united states one hundred years ago when we began the income tax and we structured it as what we call eight progress of tax and what that simply means there's the higher your income the larger the percentage of it you are required to pay in tax because you can know for more you are asked to give more and the logic of that is again to use that tax system to offset any qualities that if you don't offset them will destroy your community create tension within it and eventually blow it up. we've just got about sixty seconds but i want to try to squeeze in one more question so when you talk about wealth inequality an
