[The federal tax structure is an analogy.....you do understand what an analogy is?]

Yes, I do, and your comparison was not actually an "analogy": it was an attempt to change the subject.

[...campaigns to scare the middle class and poor.]

The middle class and poor are not stupid. They know quite well that any initial "Robin Hood" tax-the-rich-only income tax scheme would eventually expand to include them, just as the state sales tax % grew for some time after its initial inception.

[I suppose you will eventually support a 20% sales tax and doubling our property taxes in the next decade?]

Again, please STOP with creating a straw man argument from what I posted above that you can then attack.

The sales tax rate has been pretty much the same now, for decades, and property taxes rise with inflation. These well-established tax structures, as they are, have been funding the state, for many decades, with NO state income tax, and will continue to do so.
