It’s neither. It’s a compensatory measure administered at a time when systematic economic injustice has fundamentally diminished the probability for tens of millions of people to fulfill their dreams.

The fundamental problem in the United States began in the 1980s, with trickle down economics and a serious perversion of tax laws in the direction of massive giveaways to the very richest.

If only that's where the problem started. Maybe backtrack a few hundreds years to building a country on stolen land with stolen labor?

No, the fundamental problem in the United States began in 1913. The federal government has been expanding out of control ever since they created the federal income tax. IRS tax code favors the very richest. #AbolishTheIRS Fairtax.org would be far superior.
