"The first country in the history of mankind to enshrine objective law (i.e., law that is the same for everyone) abandoned its courageous commitment to it with the creation of a “progressive rate” income tax. Such a tax flagrantly violated the fundamental ideal given to us by the Founding Fathers, which is law that does not convey favors and privileges to special factions. In other words, OBJECTIVE law is the legal basis of our entire system. It is the reason why we are free. It is the opposite of ARBITRARY law, the basis of all dictatorships. Progressive tax rates destroyed this pillar of our free society."
