Jamie Buckmaster on Tax Reform

Reward people for their success; don't spread the wealth

Q: Your views on making taxes more progressive ?

A: YES on rewarding people for their success. YES to corporations and employees determining profit sharing criteria. Keep governments out. Quite naturally, the best and the brightest workers will migrate toward employers who produce the best products and have the heart for sharing their profits with their employees. NO to spreading the wealth is socialism. This philosophy is socialist.
