Servilla,  you mean you wish to continue that free ride you've enjoyed in Alaska for decades?
Most states have an income tax.  You pay a federal income tax, that is a progressive tax.
You see Servilla, the wealthiest in the nation accumulate so much more than the bottom 50%, so yes, they should contribute at a higher rate than the bottom half.  If it is so disagreeable, then they can simply invest less and earn less. Problem solved.

Those with the most always favor a sales tax that will hit lower income households much harder than higher income households.  Why those with the most like taking so much from those with the least has always confounded me.  But OK, here it goes.  We will have a flat sales tax collectible once a year of 5% for everything you have amassed in the previous year.  Everything.
