Most Liberals in mixed company would never admit that they are for higher taxes and these same people even though they do believe in higher taxes do not wish to pay them themselves. The truth is that a true Modern-Day Liberal does indeed favor progressive taxes. Why you ask? Because they truly believe that there is an "imbalance from the top strata and those at the bottom." Yes, but why is that? It takes hard work to achieve wealth.

What is wealth, it is nothing more than the division of someone’s total sum value to the system and the value of their assets divided by a unit of trade; a dollar. Those who work harder have more dollars, which is exactly who should have the most units or wealth. Why should an under achiever or lazy person have equal rights to the wealth without putting in their efforts or enjoying the efforts of their genetic lines?

The modern day liberal favors taxation without representation and taking from the productive and giving to those who do not give a darn. The modern day liberal denies that everyone with a hand out is not needy, they deny that abled body men will put out their hand for something that is free.

In doing so or giving to such free-loaders we make those men weak, beholden to the state and indeed snare them into the lair of political supporters, while weakening our nation and limiting self-reliance and training weakness into our societies. Therefore, Modern Day Liberalism is a crime on the productivity, health, wealth and strength of our nation.
